Whats wrong with Windows 8.1?
I have read a lot of posts about Win 8.1. Some say they will never touch it or they hate it or it sucks or any number of other complaints. Then there are some that say they like Win 8.1 and thin...

Win 8 explorer does not organize my favorites very well from the start menu.
Works fine in desktop mode.
Are you talking about Internet Explorer here? I don't use IE, my browser, FireFox, works fine.

Win 8 opens pdf in adobe instead of a browser window. Then back to the start menu when closed instead of desktop where I was.
Depends on how you have defaults setup.

Win 8 does not seem to remember my log in and passwords very well. Ok maybe security was tightened but why as security should have been improved.
Not sure about this one, I don't have any issues with login or passwords on my 3 Win 8 devices.

Win 8 forgets how to talk to my network printer frequently. Win 7 never.
I setup my network printer once for each of my devices and none have ever "forgotten" how to talk to the printer.

Finding programs seems difficult and not as intuitive. Maybe chalk this up to the learning curve.
I don't have this issue but there are lots of 3rd party apps out there that will supply you with the traditional Start Menu.

Too much emphasis on spending money in the app store.
How so? I have spent little to no money in the app store and have never been prompted to.

Too much seems linked to an MSN account that I don't have and do not want... ever.
I run all of my Win 8 devices with a local account.

Maybe it is all just a matter of learning a new system. Still I am annoyed, very annoyed. Looking forward to Win 9 as I assume it can't be worse.
I hope you won't be too disappointed but there will be a learning curve associated with the next version of Windows as well.
