Are you Ready for Windows 8.1? by David Hutton 19th August 2014

Over the years, Microsoft’s Windows operating system has become a mainstay of computing for millions of individuals and organisations around the world. A vast number of commercial organisations rely on this system to keep their processes and systems running smoothly, so the promise of a major update is big news indeed.

The current Windows 8 system was released to the general public in 2013, and despite many major innovations it was met with somewhat mixed reviews. For this reason alone, the introduction of an update for Windows 8.1 will be something of a major event. Those critics of the original incarnation will be hoping many of the minus points will be eradicated.

While Microsoft are yet to confirm a definite date for the release, it’s thought August 2014 will prove to be the big month. And for business users, the main question has to be whether they are ready for the update. Being prepared for such eventualities, and the issues they can generate, is hugely important for companies of every shape and size.
