Winows 8.1 and Start 8
I just installed Windows 8.1 (RTM, not the preview) on one of my
machines here. If anyone's interested, I can answer the question that's been at the back of my mind for a while: Start 8 continues to run properly under 8.1 Since Start 8 runs, I assume that other similar programs like ClassicShell and StartIsBack probably also do, but I don't know for sure. -- Ken Blake |

You installed it for the first time yesterday, and now you are a promoter... |

You installed it for the first time yesterday, and now you are a promoter... I installed it today, not yesterday. A promoter? Not at all. I have no idea whether I like it better than Windows 8 or not. I've seen it for just a few minutes. My message was merely to share the answer to one of the questions I had about it before I had seen it at all. -- Ken Blake |

The only forums that exist are Windows 8.1 *preview* forums. The preview and the RTM are not necessarily the same, which is why I was glad to see that it worked. -- Ken Blake |

Sorry, I misunderstood you. But even there, anything posted could only pertain to Windows 8.1 preview which was all that existed until a few days ago. -- Ken Blake |

Who knew that it would be so hard to post some information and have people actually thank you for it. ;-) |

Where did you download it from and can it be removed after installed? |

Since I assume you are not, you'll have to wait until October 18. You can remove it, but only by doing a clean installation of whatever you want instead. -- Ken Blake |
