Redmond giant released the newer version of windows as 8.1 which hosted a certain new features into it but still doesn't manages to perform that well compared to Windows 7.
New features were:
Improved visualization of start screen- with setting to choose for tiles to background of start screen but still I personally don't like the whole screen start menu as it hampers a lot of usability.
Snap view.
Some adittional bundled apps most of which I don't use ever.
Tighter One drive(formerly known as skydrive) integration a definite good cloud feature to have.
Internet explorer 11(still a waste of time)
Unified BING search engine(definitely great to have but I still prefer google over it)
Option for Taking direct to desktop instead of start screen as previosuly done on Windows 8.
Support for higher HD displays, Micracast, 3D printing, Wifi-Direct.
though it was miles better than windows 8 but still it failed to impress on various grounds.
Since windows 8 initially was designed separately from its RTM versions these versions simply hogged to much GPU resulting in sluggish and poor performance specially of the games installed on devices and people upgrading on devices that used 2 GPU profiling more properly know as switchable graphics resulted in total chaos as non of the manufacturer were able to provide bios and other updates in time thus resulting is total system failures for few people. And this problem was still not adressed in windows 8.1 only question that I want to ask for it how hard was it microsoft as this feature was already available on winodws 7.
After the launch of windows 10 microsoft has rectified all its problem and provided us with OS which stand at par with the legends of Windows XP
