On the process of downloading all the components, will let you guys know once i make the jump.

I was wondering the same thing. Let us know!

How are you getting the update? I don't see it.

Microsoft accidentally leaked it. You can find it on certain websites.

Oops! Windows 8.1 update leaked by Microsoft itself | PCWorld

Thanks. I think I'll just wait!!

I'm in the process of switching from Mac to Win8.1 over the next couple days and don't need a 'leaked' version to confuse me!!

I think I'm going to hold off too. Most of it seems oriented for desktop who are confused by the new UI. There also might be some firmware updates coming out this month that prepare for it.

Although, as mentioned in another post, Update 1 is supposed to fix the tap and drag issue with the Type Cover 2.

I still haven't figured how to get the update. Where do you find it or do the update? when I check for updates my 2 Windows computers says there's no updates available... huh?

Kickasstorrents has it. Download and install at your own risk. It isnt the official way to update.

So far everything feels smoother, not sure if its a placebo effect. Will give it a day or two to figure out.

It's a Windows update, for God's sake. It's not like you install an Android firmware and brick your phone. If it's digitally signed by Microsoft, it's ok to install, it's a PC, there are countless officially supported ways to get out of a bad install.

Looking forward to your feedback munakib. Right now, I'm sitting this one out and letting the brave souls with the machete clear a path.
