Windows 8.1–What’s New?

With Windows 8 released only a few months ago, to see a quick update, Windows 8.1 within the year was a surprise. It brings a wealth of improvements and can be accredited to the fast changing landscape of modern businesses.

Tablets or desktops – the answer is of course both, or whatever. In today’s business, what matters is productivity, security and cost. Windows 8.1 will allow businesses to move to a modern operating system and enjoy the current IT capabilities that we are seeing emerging in the world today, such as BYOD, cloud computing, security concerns and others.

Below is a link to a recent TechNet article which discusses What’s new in Windows 8.1 for IT Professionals.
