Windows 8.1 is much better than Windows 10. Agreed but expect Windows 8.1 to go the same way as Vista did, in other words due to a lack of testers, particularly with open source projects that don't have the resources to support both 7 and 8.1 at the same time, it's cheaper/easier for companies and FOSS projects to simply not test on anything below Win10 now, particularly as so few people actually use 8.1 compared to 7 that usage statistics would be negligable at best. Also 10 LTSC 2019 is actually pretty cool and is supported officially until 2029. No, I won't be exchanging links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
