![]() Windows 8.1 with Bing will never be released for download separately, as Microsoft clearly stated that it will be pre-installed on devices launched by its partners. Of course, in order to comply with competition regulations and to give users more choices, Microsoft still allows them to switch to a different search engine, such as Google. Not much is known about it, but Microsoft confirmed that it does come with Bing configured as the default search engine in Internet Explorer. We still don't know if Windows 8.1 with Bing is offered free of charge or at a lower cost to manufacturers, but Microsoft's main goal is to encourage partners to develop more affordable devices that would help boost the adoption of the new modern operating system. Of course, this particular OS version cannot be found on Microsoft's website, as it's only designed for OEMs, but given the fact that it has leaked via unofficial channels, everyone can find it online with a little effort. Now Windows 8.1 with Bing has reached the web too and can be downloaded by everyone out there, as long as they know where to look. ![]() As we've reported to you earlier today, Windows 8.1 with Bing is already being tested by Microsoft's partners and a leaked screenshot seems to confirm that Redmond has indeed submitted this new SKU to manufacturers.
