Windows 8.1 To Include 20 New Security, Mobility & BYOD Features

and this: Microsoft offers $100,000 bug bounty for Windows 8.1 - The Tech Report

Simply means Windows 8.1 will be more secure both in the OS kernel level and web browser (Internet Explorer 11).

I was pretty much the same moving from XP to Vista, the OS itself was horrible but Vista had better security than XP.

Same goes for 7 to 8 and then 8 to 8.1 which is a bit more minor since 8.1 is considered a service pack more than a complete OS upgrade but 8.1 is still going to be more secure then 7 and 8 nonetheless considering they've changed the kernel in 8.1, added some much needed features to Windows Defender and upgraded to the web browser that is Internet Explorer 11.

The world's business community was just subject to a huge scare campaign that if they didn't migrate directly to Windows 8 with Secure Boot they would be eaten alive with BIOS infections.

The world's business community responded by deciding nearly 100% to migrate to Windows 7.

Windows 8 is going to have to come up with something better than security scares. How about a desktop experience?

What added security features are they?

I'll second that!

If you want securtiy, try Linux. Nasa uses linux exclusively.

If you want a decent desktop experience, stick with 7, Linux Deepin, or Linux Mint.

My favourite is Linux Deepin, it boots twice as fast as win8. It is also free software..

Linux Deepin 12.12 has been released (Screenshot Tour) ~ Noobs on Ubuntu, Mint and Debian, HD Wallpapers, Tutorials
