today is the last day windows 8.1 is officially supported by microsoft.

tbh i really like the way 8.1 looks, it's probably my favorite windows version aesthetically, although the removal of aero was a shame

windows 8.1 had the precursor to UWPs, and they're pretty annoying, you're forced to use them in fullscreen or in this weird split screen view.

@mjdxp right i thought this whole metro apps in windows was added in 8.1, not 10

@jeder i think that 8.1's metro apps are actually technically different than windows 10's UWPs, but they basically serve the same goal

@jeder@miau.jeder.pl

@mjdxp they showed metro apps running multiple times during windows 10 development though, no?

@jeder who knows, not like anyone would go on to use them
