			Windows 8 added integration with online services, USB 3.0 support, additional security features, and introduced the Windows Store. It introduced the Metro design elements from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Phone Windows Phone] to Windows desktops, and was oriented towards touchscreens to compete against other mobile OSes.
	There is much controversy over Windows 8, for its new Start Menu and added features are not welcomed by many, currently. Some have even called it "unfriendly" and "useless" on a desktop or laptop, and reviews of the OS are quite mixed.

			There was much controversy over Windows 8 for its new Start Menu, and the removal of the Start button from the taskbar, which were not welcomed by many. Some have even called it "unfriendly" and "useless" on a desktop or laptop, and reviews of the OS were quite mixed, or negative. Some of these issues were addressed with Windows 8.1, which was released to the public on October 27th 2013. 8.1 brought the Start button back to the taskbar, and made enhancements to the Start screen to address criticisms of Windows 8's user unfriendliness. 8.1 had mixed reviews, but had overall more positive reviews.
