Just a speck of good news for W8 sufferers.

Servers ready to dispense the update were turned on at 07:00 New York time (12:00 BST). The update is free to those already running Windows 8. Charges will apply if users upgrade to 8.1 from Windows 7. The update comes just over a year after the launch of Windows 8.

I'm fascinated with the possible implications of this initiative:

I wonder how it reacts to the finger salute ....
