Quote:Windows 8.1 is more substantial than a traditional update and Microsoft wanted to make it very easy for customers to consume as well which is why it will be delivered through the Windows Store. It's important to note that when describing the update, she did not say that it was a service pack, but an update, which ties into the belief that Microsoft is done with the traditional service packs and will move to more prominent releases like Windows 8.1.

Quote:Along with announcing that the upcoming major update for Windows 8 and RT will officially be called Windows 8.1, Microsoft has also announced a specific date for the release of the Windows 8.1 public preview. Owners of current Windows 8 and RT devices will be able to download the public preview on June 26th.

They've been relasing Service Packs forever now and only now they decided their going to take the route of what browser companies do, i.e Firefox 24.1 Beta, Firefox 24.2 Beta, and Chrome 8.991030.0 Beta and Chrome 8.991030.1 Beta...
