Microsoft is sharing more on how existing Windows 8 and Windows RT users will be able to upgrade to Windows 8.1 'Blue' preview and final.
I'm pretty confused as to why if you decide to try out these preview builds that you simply are unable to upgrade them with the final code down the road and have your apps preserved. It seems strange that you would have to reinstall all of your apps upon full release if you try the preview...while those who forgo the trial will be able to go to the full release without having to reinstall.

Could you please tell us what crap you have to put up with once your store is usable?I cannot open the store on my computer, actually I have not bothered to fix it as there is NO apps that I want to use.
This means that I have to get it working (and put up with all the crap that comes with it) before I can Upgrade.
Not Happy at all.
I just fail to see this as an operating system, I see it more like a service pack. That's why I don't understand the need for software reinstalls. Oh well, I will play with it on a test system only, would never put a release like this on my real box. Will just wait for the full thing to come out.
Yeah, it's all semantics. I'm not going to get all worked up over the differences. it's subtle at best, certainly not a new OS in my opinion. But then again, it's just like 2008 and server 2008R2. They are different things, each with their own unique problems.

Ok, catch me up here. When you guys talk about 'apps', in this thread at least, you refer only to 'metro apps', is that right...??
And as I have only normal, desktop apps, I should otta be ok...yes..??
Did anybody notice that at the end of the video the bald dude says..."Available June 26"?
