Microsoft Windows 8.1 Goes RTM

Appears the Internet is ablaze about the release of Windows 8.1 (Blue) to manufactures.  Windows 8.1 addresses many of the issues people had with Windows 8 including a few UI tweaks that made headlines around the world. 

Windows 8.1 brings back the Start button and also features Internet Explorer 11, SkyDrive integration, an updated Windows Store experience, DPI scaling improvements (enabling better readability on high-DPI displays), 3D printing support, more customization options, tweaked mouse and keyboard navigation, and a boot-to-desktop option.

Of course none of that really matters since the UI is only useful on a "small" touch device but there are people raving about Windows 8 claiming its the best thing since Windows 3.1.  

Look for the new OS sometime around October 18th with ISO leaks on Bittorrent sometime sooner.
