Windows 8 Support Ceases

Just a reminder to anyone who hasn't updated a Windows 8 machine to 8.1 that Microsoft will no longer provide support and updates for 8 from now on.

    Funny as F. Even Microsoft don't want anything more to do with Windows 8.

    After all the ejits of the day came on here and defended it.

    To be fair, it took Microsoft a Very Long Time to disown Windows 8...

    Correct, this Tuesdays regular release of updates was officially the last for Windows 8 (not 8.1) which is why I posted the information. So what was odd about my comment?
