Windows 8.1 on student express workstations

iSolutions are embracing Windows 8.1 and touch screen technology this summer for the Student Express Workstations, which are terminals at key locations to assist Students ‘on the move’.

After extensive investigation we have decided NOT to update Common Learning Space (CLS) workstations and lecture theatres to Windows 8.1 this summer. This is for a variety of reasons, including time pressures and Windows 8.1 not being mature enough at this time for effective delivery of the very large portfolio of software that the University demands. 

Work on Windows 8.1 will continue within iSolutions and a number of technologies to deliver a future upgrade are being investigated.

We would like to send our thanks to all of the students who provided us feedback about the Windows 8.1 trial, including the winner of the £50 Amazon voucher who has been contacted separately.
