    Get Decent WIFI

    No wi-fi issues for me on 8.0 or 8.1. Seems kind of pricey, but glad it fixed your issue.

    Does Anyone Really Care About the Start Menu?

    I thought this pretty much summed up my feelings of the new "Start Button"... Microsoft listens, and gives everyone the Start button they didn?t ask for

    8.1 Outlook broke my email

    How many people are going to know that you have to long-press it to get the extended menu items? O/W all it does is return you to the tiles, which the logo below the screen will do and is easier.

    8.1 Outlook broke my email

    I installed 8.1 on my RT, but not going to update my wife's. I don't see enough features to warrant the risk. The new Start is a big fail in my opinion.

    Win 8.1 Preview Deleted Norton 360

    I would have uninstalled it too.... :D Guess I've seen too many pc's screwed up by Norton/Symantec. It's very possible it wasn't compatible.

    News Flash! You can try Windows 8.1 WITHOUT full wipe...

    Are you sure you're on the correct page? I believe this is the correct link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/download-preview Otherwise start at http://windows.microsoft.com and follow the links to the Preview site while on your Windows 8 device. I know it worked for my Surface RT.

    News Flash! You can try Windows 8.1 WITHOUT full wipe...

    RE: new start button.... It's a joke. Tap it and you you're back to the start tiles page. Long press it and you can get to administrative tools, control panel, shutdown, etc. I can't say I like it. I see Outlook is installed, but I'm not touching it until I know more about it.
