14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has launched the Windows 8.1 exclusively via the store, with several company officials explaining that no stand-alone ISOs would be released.
Now it turns out that someone in Redmond had a change of heart, as Microsoft might actually launch Windows 8.1 ISOs later this month.
One of our readers told us that Microsoft’s support staff confirmed such plans, which would basically provide users with a second option for updating, but also with an easier way to perform a clean install.
At this point, Windows 8.1 ISOs are already available for download for MSDN and TechNet subscribers, while end users can get it via a simple trick, but beginners might still have a hard time trying to get their hands on the files.
We’re still waiting for an official statement from Redmond, so we’ve reached out to Microsoft for a word on this.
