Microsoft released their latest operating system Windows 8 back in October 2012 and the tech giant introduced this operating system to the market with huge expectations. However, these expectations were in vain, as most users who chose to upgrade to Windows 8 has not been impressed much by it and this reflected in the sales. The lack of the Start button and the new user interface made the situation even more difficult. This made Microsoft think about a new update and finally, they came up with Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 features the return of Start button and it is expected that Windows 8.1 will make a huge impact in the sales revenue for Microsoft.
The reviews available online suggest that the many users who have upgraded to Windows 8.1 are happy about the small improvements over the previous Windows 8 OS; however, Microsoft still needs to address some of the fundamental issues that have slowed down the adoption of Windows 8. However, there are not many visual changes when comparing Windows 8 with Windows 8.1. The main notable difference is the return of the Start button without the Start menu and it also includes an arrow that will help you in finding the applications. Generally speaking, Microsoft changes in the new update are only a few and non-controversial.
In the update Windows 8.1, there is more consistency with the app bars. For e.g. the internet explorer has placed both its app bars at the bottom of the screen. In addition, from the Metro version of PC Settings, you can configure the PC better with the inclusion of new customization features. However, this is not enough to replace the traditional Control Panel found in the other operating systems from Microsoft. The new changes made by Microsoft in the user interface have made things difficult for the traditional desktop and laptop users.
However, when comparing to the Windows 8 version, Windows 8.1 is much better as it is faster and is more stable. When comparing to Windows 7, it uses only a little memory and has faster booting capabilities. It also has some new features like the navigation setting that helps the users directly boot to the desktop. Microsoft has fixed the issues found in the Preview version. When considering all these features, it is the best version of Windows 8 that Microsoft has released so far.
