The Intel Core M seems to be worth the wait as well.

Yeah, they skipped 9 because the name wasn't "big" enough, hmmm. They are still saying it is a free upgrade for 8.1 users, so...fingers crossed.

Windows 8.1 pro has been, so far, the best Windows yet for me, even on desktop. The thing is, you have to sit down and customize the GUI first. I think many people took one look at it, and went "bleh", and that was that. It certainly is more productive than my MacPro OSX, and so far, it has been more stable too.

Although, I think for the EFB's, they should have went with Apple, as the user interface is more for everyone, while Windows leans more towards the tech savoy.
