== New features ==

The following have been removed from the article: PowerShell 3, WMI 3, IE10, SMB3, Kerberos 5, new PowerShell interfaces to management tools. These are but a few of the [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/explore-windows-8.aspx new features] that are not currently in the article - I'm not inclined to re-add them, but am adding this note so that others have some tips what to search for. <i><fontspan colorstyle="color:black"><; font -size="2:small;"><i>Socrates2008</i> (<span style="font -size=2:small;">[[User talk:Socrates2008|Talk]]</fontspan>)</font></fontspan> 11:41, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

== Re: Titlebar text in the middle of windows ==

That's not really much of a notable feature in comparison to everything else in this article, it's just [[WP:FANCRUFT|fancruft]] in my opinion. The Up arrow is borderline on that too (and should really be bunched in with the stuff about the updates to File Explorer), but unlike the titlebar text, that button actually does something important, and was notably absent on Vista and 7. <span style="border:1px solid #f57900;padding:1px;">[[User:ViperSnake151|<fontspan style="color:#8f5902;">[[User:ViperSnake151|ViperSnake151]]</fontspan>]] [[User_talk:ViperSnake151|<fontspan style="color:#fff; background:#fcaf3e;">&nbsp;Talk&nbsp;</fontspan>]] </span> 20:17, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

:I agree; it is no new feature, merely a trivial relocation of an existing feature. I'll also add that having a separate section for returning features doesn't work out, when the article is already structured based on which part of the OS was changed. - [[User:Josh the Nerd|Josh]] ([[User talk:Josh the Nerd|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Josh_the_Nerd|contribs]]) 16:20, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

:::I agree, this is not a good solution and makes it extremely hard to get a grasp of the changes to Windows 8.1. Why not list the changes to 8.1 below changes to Windows 8? Or do it as it is done for Mac OSX. [[User:user931|user931]] 19:14, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

::::Hi. This is deliberate. [[WP:NOTCHANGELOG|Wikipedia is not a change log]] or a [[WP:IINFO|list of indiscriminate items]]. You are not supposed to be able to locate a list of features that are new to Windows 8.1 all together. There are millions of places on the Internet that make such trivia lists. Visit them if you wish, instead of Wikipedia. I am not saying such lists are bad; it is just what we don't.

:::::And yet [[Android version history]] gets to do that. <span style="border:1px solid #f57900;padding:1px;">[[User:ViperSnake151|<fontspan style="color:#8f5902;">[[User:ViperSnake151|ViperSnake151]]</fontspan>]] [[User_talk:ViperSnake151|<fontspan style="color:#fff; background:#fcaf3e;">&nbsp;Talk&nbsp;</fontspan>]] </span> 06:24, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

::::::Hi. I expected an [[Wikipedia:Other stuff exists|"Other stuff exist"]] discussion from anyone but you, dear ViperSnake. If anything, articles like Android version history sully your good work. But [[History of Firefox]] is a nice example of how things should be. Best regards, [[User:Codename Lisa|Codename Lisa]] ([[User talk:Codename Lisa|talk]]) 10:17, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

:::::::Who are you to say how wikipedia should or shouldn't be? Or that you are not supposed to be able to locate a list of features?! Wikipedia is a place for information and sometimes it is very usefull to present information in a list, you find it all over wikipedia. For me you have deliberately damaged the changes part to Windows 8.1 [[User:user931|user931]] 20:54, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
