One comment to “Microsoft to Release Windows 8.1 on June 26, 2013”
  1. Sounds like some good improvements coming, though in my opinion they could go further by making apps resizable and leaving the taskbar visible at all times even when running an app, or even better fully combine the desktop with the “start” screen, which they should have done in the first place.
