#1 Windows 8.1 fails to right a sinking ship

Microsoft’s Windows 8 was not short of contradictory features that made PC enthusiasts to detest and criticize it. The company was surprisingly quick to respond; it released a major update in Windows 8.1 within a year. But the issue remained. While 8.1 brought with it a set of features and improvements that was well received, it still fell short. The Store is marginally better, the app-view is a little like the much loved start menu and you can boot to desktop now, but the core contradiction of Windows 8 remained.

It is clear that with Windows 8, the software giant was turning its attention to touch based devices, a small portion of the PC segment. So, it should come as no surprise to Microsoft that its latest iteration of Windows failed. Certain portions of the OS are designed to be used with a touchscreen whereas a few others require you to use a mouse, and both these portions must be used to make the most of the OS.
