When windows 8 was launched last fall most of the people were reluctant to upgrade to windows 8 as microsoft made some changes like removing the start button and adopting the new start page which was more touch-friendly. Now they are back with windows 8.1 with start button and many more features like universal search, better apps, IE 11, screen splitting etc.
The above video was released by microsoft prior to its launch, where Jensen Harris from the windows team shows what to expect from the new windows.
Windows 8.1 is a clear improvement over Windows 8, and for that Microsoft should be commended. The split-screening is effective.
But the OS is not out of the woods yet. There are still a lot of intuitive things Microsoft could be doing here; options that seem so forehead-slappingly obvious, such as a screen of currently running apps, they probably should have gone into this update.
You can upgrade or buy the new windows here
