iMac 27" 2013 running Windows 8.1, Any issues?

several posts about wifi or wired netcard and audio not working

not sure if we just don't hear from all the people who have no issues

since win8.1 is still beta and later on apple will release official bootcamp driver pack support I'll wait

about the no optical drive then my 2011 imac have one and rarely use it

right now there is a ps1 disc with bomber man 1/2 in it to use with the emulator in windows and to make sure a ssd card don't get in there(many people put them in there by misstake for some reason)

and 2 week ago I used it for the first time to burn a dvd

mechanical moving parts media is on the way of the dodo's like floppy droves before them

There are no Bootcamp Windows drivers for Windows 8.1.

It depends on how well Boot Camp 5.x is supporting Windows 8 - some 2013 MBA with Samsung PCIe SSD had / has an issue.

I can generally run Windows fine - without any Apple drivers

8.1 is not really beta, it is Preview but there previews since Windows 7 are better than some other ".0" releases anyway. Windows 8 Developer Preview was rough around a lot of areas. 8.1 runs better than 8.0 with all updates for me. I would call it 8.1 Release Candidate - rock solid too.

There are no "8.1 certified" drivers maybe but I would not consider that a no-go game changer.

I have a sinking feeling though that Boot Camp 6 could require 10.9 which would be a bad sign.

You will have to reinstall Windows 8.1 again when the Preview expires or you want to use the release edition.

I at least hope that Bootcamp 6 comes with Mavericks next week and solves my problem.
