    Why Have Most Windows 8 Users Not Upgraded to Windows 8.1?

    And that i think is the reason that people haven't upgraded (updated?) to Win 8.1 they don't even know its there, they don't go to the store and don't use the metro / modern interface. Why Microsoft hasn't made it available via windows update is anyone's guess, bloody strange decision if you...
