Microsoft Talks About How Windows 8.1 Preview Will Work
Because some folks I talk to these days are mixing "apps" and "programs" into the same bag, I want to clarify something ... per the above quote, if I
1) install 8.1 preview; then,
2) install a program (not an app from the app store), like Photoshop ...
will I have to re-install that program once I update to 8.1 RTM? Or, are the re-installs associated only with apps downloaded from the store?
Thank you!
On x86-based Windows systems, both Windows Store/Metro-Style and Desktop apps will need to be reinstalled.

- Overall, very happy with this laptop -- great for work & was very good for gaming when I originally bought it (haven't tried any games last year or so).
