Re: Resistance to 8.1?
Try search for "keyboard not working after windows 8.1 update" and you'll see what I mean. No wonder people are resisting the upgrade, and Win 8 all together.
One of the reasons, could be that 8.1 breaks down things, like laptop keyboards.

Re: Resistance to Windows 8
We use remote desktop and VPN on all our Windows 8/8.1 devices. Are you confused and using an RT Surface tablet, not a Surface Pro or a Windows laptop or PC desktop? Check with a qualified IT tech and you will know.
Resistance to 8.1?
So tell me why about half of the Win8 users upgraded to the FREE 8.1? Another wasted effort on Microsoft's part to sell what MS wants to make not what people want to buy.

I simply can't use 8.1 because my company does not allow the remote desktop connections I need to do my job past 8.0. 8.1 is purely for consumers given the maturity of many organizations to support the major change from 8.0 to 8.1. Calling it a "minor" release (IE only incrementing to x.1) is highly inappropriate given that 8.1 is really an entirely different OS from many standpoints inclusive of security.
