Hi F4E...I really like 7 and hate to give it up,but with the SP1 issue...the IE8 issue...and the Internal Mic issue...it's time to change. I've looked at about 50 reviews on 8.1 and they range (as always) from "I hate it" to "I love it". I personally don't know anyone running 8.1 so maybe I'll stop in to Best Buy and see how it looks and works. Microsoft wants $120.00 for it.
