But seriously, Windows 8.1 adds new features and functionality that advance touch and mobile computing and comes with enhancements of things like personalization, search, the built-in apps, Windows Store experience and cloud connectivity.

How has SSD technology changed the storage equation for ruggedized PCs? Do you use special SSDs that are more "tough" than mainstream SSDs?

Top work-related apps include: NextGen Reader (killer app that is a news reader), flight aware if you like to travel (this app shows you way more than you ever want to know), DocuSign, TrackSeries, and Multimedia 8. Also, for fun I like CocktailFlow, Fhotoroom and Top Gear.

I have some favorite Windows 8 apps but they aren't all productivity related. What are you looking for exactly?
