So that 8.1 update has been available for a while. I haven't downloaded it because of the mouse lag problems, but they might be fixed now (would like some confirmation on that).

IS IT WORTH IT ? ? ? (i have win8)
 
Might as well, gets rid of that notification upon startup. Best feature
 
Microsoft's plan for everything in a nutshell: Giant Pop-ups until you're too tired to resist.
You might as well update, though. I haven't looked into it but I imagine it's just a bunch of fixes, security updates, etc.
 
You could do an image backup of your hard drive and then upgrade to 8.1. If it doesn't work out, just restore the backup. The best advice I can give you, though, is to upgrade to Windows 7.
