Quick Review:

The Windows 8.1 includes a host of enhancements and new features, It is a second crack at the OS, which was widely disparaged by reviewers and customers when it debuted last year.

MS has also added some new apps, like a sound recorder and calculator that use the Modern UI. The calculator is good, and the sound recorder does what it's supposed to, but neither really needs to be a full screen app. The new email app is better, it looks more like a real email client, but we don't see non-tablet users making much use of it, because it forces you into an full screen mode - unless you use the new re sizable multitasking mode to consign it to the left or right of the screen.

The music application, is brilliant now. The layout is clearer and easier to navigate and things are split up far more logically. It's called Xbox Music, which makes some sense if you subscribe to the music service. It also gives you access to radio stations. So everyone now can get a 10 hours of free streaming per month.
