  Windows 8.1 is here: Can it win over skeptical PC buyers?
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Andi Stabryla

Today, almost exactly one year after shipping Windows 8, Microsoft released its successor. Windows 8.1 (a free update for Windows 8 users) now has the formidable challenge of rehabilitating its predecessor's tarnished image and convincing consumers and businesses that new Windows-powered hardware is a smart choice. I've spent the past several months using the Windows 8.1 Preview and the final shipping code on a variety of devices: traditional desktop and notebook PCs, all-in-ones with touchscreens, and tablets and touch-enabled devices in many shapes and sizes.
