The End Is Nigh
Some folks are having issues with Windows 8.1 Update 1. This update is a requirement for future updates.
These ‘future updates’ are this Tuesday. Many folks aren’t happy about that.
We used the term for the end of XP. Can we please stop using the term ‘apocalypse’ for Windows issues?

Hope you have a great weekend!
