So this is a Service Pack? Are Microsoft actually going to have the audacity to ask money for this then?

Nothing is certain for the time being. Given 8's reception I don't think they'll be charging for it.

Yeah. But I seriously doubt Microsoft is going to cave in to the vocal minority.

Don't really see the internet saying that, actually. In fact, if anything, I see the internet saying its going to be free.

I'll be enjoying Ubuntu 13.04 and 13.10 this year instead if Microsoft does charge for 8.1 (unless it's $15 and they can justify it). deltatux

Windows Blue is a bunch of updates not just for Windows 8 but also Windows Phone 8. So somehow I seriously doubt that charges will be incurred here...

Is it possible to run Ubuntu with a different Desktop Environment? Can't stand the current one.

If < 1 ohm.

Yes. You can modify Ubuntu or download: http://xubuntu.org/ http://www.kubuntu.org/ Or get something less boring and some actually good stuff, like: http://www.freebsd.org/
