I tried to install it on Windows 8 on my desktop (not 8.1) and was informed that it is only for Windows 7 SP1. I could help but roll my eyes.

Yes, they want to force you to install Windows 8.1. I'd also prefer to have just the IE 11, at least until Windows 8.1 SP1 thank you Microsoft.

They are really strange: if I had Windows 7 I'd be able to install IE 11, but since I have Windows 8, I'll have to wait until October 18 and then I'll have to install the whole Windows 8.1.
