Apparently, when have they NOT? Where does this "first release" myth come from? Other than the unique case of Vista, which was a true first release of NT 6. This is NOT a first release, this is the latest version of NT 6. If you have concern about lower releases, then that would make you install this as this is the latest update to NT 6.

On the desktop side, I typically have always felt the first releases (like the now defunct Windows 😎 to be shaky. I do not think that is a myth.

There was not a single functionality issue with Windows 8.
Honestly, there was not a single problem with Vista either as long as your hardware worked with it. Vista had a driver compatibility problem.

Well this is not entirely true. Vista also included a brand new network stack that they wrote that had TONS of holes in it. They dumped that stack with 8.1 though.
