Thank goodness I'm not an Outlook user (though Kudos to MS for releasing Outlook RT as a proper desktop application), and I haven't seen anything in 8.1 as yet that would outweigh the loss of an unlocked desktop (and potentially USB wired Ethernet, haven't heard if that's been resolved).
According to the Plugable site 8.1 borks the Ethernet driver we all love.
