I've been tracking the trend of OS use on ROG site, and the Win 8 uptake is interesting to see.
The free update means many upgraded from 8 to 8.1, but it's a slowing trend. Still 35% use Win 8, which is not bad for a 'hated' OS. Win 7 continues to fall slowly a few 1/10ths a fortnight but it will become the new XP. XP is dropping 'quite fast' now but I guess it'll plateau out like Vista at sub 2%. Android is still growing very strongly, but iOS isn't.
For those who surf on mobile - we will fix the site in the next few months to work better on your devices.

Well its at least a bit surprising that w8.x is picking up.
The sheer recentment I noticed all around me.
When 8 was launched I was flabbergasted by those colorkids tiles. I almost smashed them with a sledge hammer. 2 days and I fried the install dvd in the microwave (wauw now its sparkling).
Win 8.1 I tried and liked it a lot more. Recently created my first 8.1 "slimmed" unattended installer (taking care of the stupidity that upgrade versions cannot be used with fresh install.. What if your house burns down, what if my brothers toddles decided that my pc looked somewhat thirsty and gave it a bottle of lemonade : I asked Microsoft this, answer nope buy full version)... My a**.
The slimmed version, kicked out al bloat wear, smashed skydrive, destroyed all metro apps, gives me full ownership, GOD Mode, immediate boot directly on desktop. (no OMG you have to use your ms account to login.. Says who) After tweaking stripping etc... I am pretty happy with how it all works.
So for those, that didn't try it yet,... Give it a, go, on Hyperthreading tasks it is performing often better than in Win7. Nuf said...
