Hello, Recently started using Windows 8.1 since I found the screen sharpness best with a new MacBook Pro 13" Retina. The app I use the most is Word 2010. I've found that often, the Word UI becomes unresponsive and there are sometimes pauses here and there. When saving (with background save enabled) to a shared folder, sometimes it takes several seconds (maybe more than 5), and Word even complains that the app has stopped responding and displays a dialog to quit the app or wait. Never happened before with Windows 7 on an older machine. Anyone see similar things? gary
