Search
In Windows 8.1 the search charm is a global search with the results powered by Bing. So you get web, apps, files and Skydrive results in a unified result. This should make searching more useful and again improve the experience of Windows 8.1

SkyDrive gets an offline mode so you can take file with you offline which will be interesting to see how that works with small devices like the Surface RT.
Microsoft have got rid of the need to go to the old desktop Control Panel as they have moved all the settings to the new PC Settings app, this is important if there are going to be smaller Windows tablet where using the desktop would be very difficult and paves the way to an all modern UI device.
In Windows 8.1 IE 11 replaces IE 10 which Microsoft say has faster load times and syncs tabs across Windows 8.1 devices.

Ofcourse these are a few details.
