You never needed one of those utilities if you were OK with spending the time it takes to learn your way around Windows 8. However, if you felt better with one of those shells in 8.0, you'll still want it with 8.1.

I recently got my first Windows 8 machine (through work), a Microsoft Surface. Using it has revealed what problem MS thought Windows 8 was the solution for*, but I don't think the MS solution is very successful.

*The problem: how can we keep selling desktop-oriented software in an increasingly tablet-oriented world?
