I have just finished installing the 8.1 preview, it installed in about 3 minutes! Now I'm going to see what they made worse!
Well it's much of the same but at least now we can boot straight to the desktop and disable hot corners.
Thats my job for tomorrow :D
Have they said when it's going to officially be out (as in, not a preview)?
Good luck! It's pretty quick, just setting up all the other stuff that takes a long time.
I thought it was around October but I could be wrong
