Microsoft Corp. today announced the immediate availability of the Windows 8.1 Preview, the next update of the Windows operating system, at the company’s developer-focused Build conference. As part of the conference’s keynote speech, the company outlined the reach, design and economic opportunities for developers to build differentiated, touch-based apps for the Windows platform, including new developer tools and increased support. Company executives also highlighted new top apps coming to Windows, including Facebook, Flipboard and NFL — clear evidence of the steady app momentum for Windows, which is experiencing the fastest growth across any platform.
The Windows 8.1 Preview page is already available to browse. Despite the news of the Preview’s availability on both the site and Windows Store – the preview is somehow not available.

I sure hope Windows 8.1 has better fans than the previous model. I had a lot of trouble with my Windows 8 over-heating until I discovered it was a poor quality fan. Microsoft should revert to real hardware fans and not use software fans.
ehh, software fan?
