You may be waiting until April to upgrade, but as you will see, even waiting a few months to upgrade is a risky move.
On October 17, Microsoft publicly released the Windows 8.1 update. It is the first major update for Windows 8 and Windows RT. The Windows 8.1 update was designed to confront some of the usability issues that Windows 8 PC users have encountered since the release of the OS last year.
Is your business prepared to invest all the time and resources it takes to implement a major change in technology?

This is especially important for businesses that are looking to maximize the return on investment they get from their hardware and software.
