"To upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows Vista or Windows XP, you'll need to install it from a Windows 8.1 DVD and perform a clean installation. This means you won't be able to keep any files, settings, or programs when you upgrade. " No thanks.

The bug's not new... in multiple editions of Windows; that means it's been around for quite a while.

Newly discovered, yes, but in the average month there are over 20 serious newly discovered bugs in Windows. And there are millions more where that came from.

It's not a bug! It is a FEATURE!!
Get with the times, man.
