Yes. Works mostly the same, though looks like they've disabled some of the options. You used to be able to run the Start Screen in a sort of window. Doesn't appear to be there anymore.

After I installed it, it turned on Stereoscopic 3D for World of Warcraft. No idea why. Running an nVidia card though.

Also, Classic Shell is working fine.

I had to resort to running the 13.11 Beta ones to get it working properly.

Yeah. Goons at SA have been reporting that Stereoscopic 3D is automatically enabled after they upgraded to 8.1. Weird, at least there are no crashes like when Vista came out.

Really? Does that mean I already had the Beta drivers installed? Headaches for no reason.
Also, you should always stick with Beta drivers unless you encounter a problem. It takes a minute for Microsoft to validate the drivers, so you'll miss out on bug fixes and performance increases (and decreases :P) if you just stick with the WHQL Drivers.

It's a pen designed specifically to work with a digitizer. It'd be more surprising if it was cheaper.
And honestly, the best ink pens cost over $50.
edit: Kidding aside, styluses(stylusi?) can cost a bit of change, but I guess that's the nature of things.

I wonder wether one of those win8 tablets could be used for VNs...
btw: It's styli. You don't usually add onto the end in latin just for nominative plural.
