Hi Charles, I see your point, but as a matter of fact Windows is not my primary operating system. I use Linux on most of my computers so for me upgrading to Windows 8.1 is a small investment because it would only be for one machine.
However, to answer your question it would depend on how much of a difference between Windows 8.1 and say this fictional 8.2 would be. If there were features and updates I could not get in any other way and I wanted them sure I'd buy it if I had the money. If not I might wait a year or two to upgrade. The thing is you are comparing apples and oranges because the situation of Windows XP and Windows 8 is a totally different situation. XP is many years behind Windows 8 in terms of features and components and will no longer be maintained. Upgrading from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 is a fairly minor upgrade in the scheme of things, and if there was such a thing as Windows 8.2 it would likely be a minor upgrade as well. So not upgrading would be less serious than the one you are in with XP. Cheers! On 9/11/13, Charles Rivard <[email protected]> wrote: > You're thinking of getting Windows 8.1. Can 8.2 be far behind?
