With respect for Rusen & Ballew's time and effort, Microsoft should make this or one of the other Windows 8.1 books a free download given the debacle of 8.0 and the revision to it w/ 8.1 RTM in October 2013. Further, those who have bought these titles in the 8.0 vintage now have somewhat obsolete renditions of this revolutionary new O/S.Anonymous
