I had to install Windows 8.1 Pro in order to use the Kinect v2 SDK. Boy is it annoying.

The worst part is if you want to use Skype - don't use the version of Skype that comes bundled with Windows! It forces you to change your Windows login into a MSN login and will only run while in the foreground (fullscreen). Total crap!

I had to change my login back to a local login and then download a "normal" version of Skype that also works in the background and doesn't force me to use MSN to log into windows.

That's just one of the many annoyances I ran into. I'm somewhat looking forward to Windows 10 - it can only get better (oh no, I said it!).

Yes Skype is pretty horrible, but at least they did what they should have done and continue the desktop version.
