Windows 8.1 paints over the problems with Windows 8
Phew. Maybe Windows Blue (or Windows 8.1, as Microsoft is now officially calling it) won't be so blah after all. But Microsoft is betting big that a fresh coat of paint will be enough to bring users back into the fold.
On paper, at least, Microsoft's disclosure
of some of the new key features within Windows Blue take some definite
strides forward, with entirely new components, such as Internet Explorer
11, anchoring the new release. Microsoft hasn't abandoned its original
vision. Rather, it’s just compromised it a bit by delivering features
that users have been clamoring for.
