8.1 more stable?? I switched to 8.1 at work, I kept being disconnected from the network, prompting errors in all our applications. Then I started getting BSoDed constantly, so they gave me a new 8.1 computer that did nothing, then we started asking and everyone in our company that has 8.1 (some 10-15 users) have the same problems, they were just thinking it was a problem with our applications and said nothing, so last week I got the first computer (the one that was having BSoDs) but with windows 8.0, and it has been working fine since then. Then yesterday I checked my daughters computer for she was having trouble with her computer too, a new computer... and of course is Windows 8.1. Piece of crap if you ask me (and you can search on the internet and there are thousands of complains about 8.1, specially regarding network connections issues (intermittent disconnection, both wired and wireless)
