programs and then reinstall them.
The company also said that if users buy
new devices running Windows 8.1, starting later this year, will be able to buy
a Windows 8.1 Pro Pack for $99.99, which will add support for all the
Pro-specific features, plus Windows Media Center. Users running Windows 8.1 Pro
