The drivers for my audio interface (and more) didn't work

How do you like 8.1 ?  Worth updating ?

I'd just like to ask those of you who don't have a touch screen monitor, what other benefits were you hoping for and have they materialised ? I've heard people say it gives better audio performance and stability and having just watched this video of bench mark tests from rain computers it seems to be a very small benefit.
 
So, what else is great about it ?
 
Experience has taught me to hold on, wait for a few service packs and revisions before jumping in.
I do like windows 7 and I don't have (and can't afford) a touch screen monitor so..... sell it to me

I'm so thankful for you guys on the bleeding edge. Make sure the OS is rock solid before I upgrade (I'm thinking about Vista next week). 
 
I'm such a lucky guy.

NEVER EVER EVER INSTALL A NEW OS OVER AN EXISTING OS.
 
Always install to a new partition/disk.
 
My music computer has w7-32, w7-64, and w8-64, different partitions, on OS disk.

Hopefully RME will have new drivers available by the time the full release is out.

if any of your devices have an advanced driver option,try turning it off. my A500s midi key board has one and i could never get the drivers to load in windows 8.1 preview until i turned the advanced option off.
 
Good luck.
