Cons:- UI could've been designed less bland

Pros:fast and sleek
Comment:
Lovin Windows 8.1. I picked up Windows 8 for my previous PC when it was first released. I couldn't resist getting the latest Retail OS for only $69. I can honestly say that I've yet to run across any issues with Windows 8 that would cause me to hate it. I'm really loving the boot to desktop feature in 8.1. :)

Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit English DVD OEM
Cons:* Modern UI not so friendly

Pros:* Boots really fast
Comment:
I upgraded to windows 8.1 from windows 7. Windows 8.1 seems to be booting up a bit faster and feels lighter than windows 7. Modern/Metro UI needs a bit of time to get use to it. Overall, it works fine.

Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit English DVD OEM
Cons:Have to install a pile of mods to get it usable to navigate properly. Hardware RAID card boot issues. Some compatibility problems with software (getting better within the 2 weeks running though)

Pros:System seems to run a lot faster than Windows 7
Comment:
Secure boot causes hardware raid cards to boot to fast in UEFI mode and then the drivers don't load properly so you have to uninstall and re-install when you first boot...no fix. I have an Adaptec 8605E controller and I can ONLY use legacy mode and secure boot disabled if I want it to boot properly with windows, which is annoying because then you have the "Secure Boot is not configured properly" watermark that ATM you cant "hide"

Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit English DVD OEM
Cons:Seems to be a touch slower than 8

Pros:Can boot to desktop
Comment:
Did the free upgrade to 8.1 Pro online thru MS Store and a week into it and all seems well. With Classic Shell in place, even my wife is happy. It seems to boot slightly slower than Win8 did, by 3 or 4 seconds or so on the Intel 510 SSD. Seems OK!
