Microsoft is adding incremental management, networking and security features to the Windows 8.1 'Blue' update, hoping to convince more business users to take a look at its latest OS release.



From All About Microsoft:

Microsoft introduced a handful of business-focused features when it rolled out Windows 8 in October 2012. Among those were things like Windows To Go, BitLocker drive encryption, and DirectAccess networking support. But those weren't enough to sway many business users who were either still clinging to (or stuck with) Windows XP or already in the midst of Windows 7 deployments.

The new Windows 8.1 business features are no guaranteed magnet for business users, either, IDC analyst Al Gillen noted.
