It’s time to upgrade your Windows 8 systems to Windows 8.1 as Microsoft has released its long-awaited Windows 8.1 globally for download. Windows 8 users can get the Windows 8.1 update for free from the Windows Store. Windows 8.1 would also be available in stores by tomorrow with pre-installed windows on devices and packaged DVD product copy at retail stores.
According to Microsoft blog post
“Windows 8.1 brings a variety of new features and improvements to Windows 8 that we think people will really enjoy. We listened to your feedback and are delivering many of the improvements you asked for.”
Microsoft has also arranged a contest starting from today until next 8 days, where users can tweet and share their Start screen after updating from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. The Winner would be selected randomly and will receive a $10 promotional Windows gift card. The whole thing about the start screen contest sounds a bit strange in the way Microsoft is trying to promote using Twitter, somehow it does seem interesting.
However, for people who are not aware of what Windows 8.1 have it in for you, then you need to check our previous article on “What’s new in Windows 8.1” covered during Windows 8.1 Preview release.
