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...

The positive reasons for installing 8.1 are the improved performance and security. If you have a touch screen then you may consider that a positive reason. With the addition of the Stardock Classic Shell it boots to Windows instead of the metro interface so it's W7 like.
Version 8.1 Update is a required prerequisite for any and all future updates. Hence it's a mandatory update as who would not want future fixes and security updates? What hasn't been delivered yet is the full Start menu and the ability to place apps in a window on the desktop, apparently these are coming in the future, another update or W9 perhaps.
8.1 Update (strange version name) made some changes on my non touch screen PC like removing the settings etc from the upper right part of the screen and adding them to the Start menu. It is suppose to boot to Windows vs metro but I'm not sure since I have the Classic Shell installed.
By all accounts W8 is less accepted than Vista and so the tradition of every other OS being a problem continues at MS.
You've pretty much mentioned the flaws. Which brings up the real issue, Why wait or deal with all the updates. Why can't it function properly right out of the box?
The whole tinkering /setup/ update issue is why people don't like it!
What OS does not have updates ? If you don't like updates don't use a computer.
