Thank for this AMA, as sysadmin of small businesses (networks of up to 50 computers and one or two servers) I have a few concerns about Windows 8 and 8.1 that bother me and have for now made me to stick to Windows 7.

Be sure to visit the Windows Blog for more details and download Windows 8.1 if you haven't already.ĮDIT 2: One last note - starting today for the next 8 days – we will pick 810 (see what we did there?) random winners per day who tweet and share their new Start screen after updating their Windows 8 device to Windows 8.1 with the #MyStart hashtag.
