Windows 8 and 8.1 are the worst viruses unleashed on the planet. They have disabled to alternate boot option so you can only reboot Windows 8 off your hard drive. I recommend avoiding at all possible turn.
Windows 8/8.1 have been the best thing that's ever happened to my life.
My android apps brought in peanuts. Only when I started publishing in the windows store that the money started pouring in. The revenue from my apps in the windows store effectively gave me a 2nd income making it possible for me to pay my student loans, my boyfriend's tuition (he's still in school), and a new house for us. The revenue from 1 app alone in the windows store pays for my mortgage, property tax, and homeowner's insurance.
Simply put, we'd still be living in my parents' basement had it not for windows 8/8.1.
Don't know why people hate windows 8/8.1. It's the fastest operating system so far. It's incredibly stable. It boots up in every machine I've tried it on, including old machines from the early 90's.
Remember when windows 7 first came out and the internet exploded with angry users who absolutely hated 7 and some predicted fire and brimstone if MS didn't bring back xp's GUI? I wonder if it's the same people who are so afraid of change and continue to demand that MS comes out with another version of windows 7. Might as well make us all go back to the old hammer and chisel with stone tablets system.
