tezza Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 With less than 20 days until Microsoft launches the Windows 8.1 Preview, information regarding the release date for the final version of Windows 8.1 have appeared online. Today, a tweet from Paul Thurrott claims Windows 8.1 will launch on August 1st this year, which means it won't be long before Windows 8.1 is pushed out to everyone. What date will Windows 8.1 ship? 8/1. Duh. :) — Paul Thurrott (@thurrott) June 7, 2013Of course, as this information isn't from official sources, we can only take this as a rumour for now. But Thurrott has sources who are familiar with Microsoft's plans and has indeed been correct on many rumours in the past. If August 1st is the correct date, it means Microsoft will just have over a month to complete Windows 8.1 after the Preview is released.In a matter of fact, the Windows 8.1 Preview seems to be rather close to the final version anyway. It shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks for Microsoft to iron out the rest of the bugs after the Preview is out to the public. So an August 1st release date is very plausible.We assume Microsoft will talk more about release dates at it's annual BUILD developer conference later this month.http://www.winbeta.org/news/windows-81-rtm-be-available-august-1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually it's month/day/year. That's how i was taught but i see some will put year/month/day or year/day/month.. and it's all numbers. It is quite annoying.

When bugs are fixed,softwares are released (dumping Windows XP).Just to see if I should upgrade to 8 or wait for Windows Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anuseems Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Long-time industry insider Paul Thurrott has indicated the shipment date for Windows 8.1 (formerly Windows Blue) will be August 1 -- or more cleverly put: 8/1. Thurrots date defies previous rumors of a later launch thought to possibly be sometime in October.At first glance, the tweet may seem a bit tongue-in-cheek. However, when a follower chose to contend the purported shipment date, Thurrott issued a reply which lent more weight to his original tweet.Although not infallible, Thurrott has a solid track record when it comes to rumors -- particularly ones from Microsoft -- thanks to his variety of inside sources and industry connections.Interestingly though, Microsoft recently confirmed it would be releasing its 8.1 public preview during an annual conference slated for June 26 through 28. As these types of releases are typically unfinished products, Thurrott's purported ship date would leave Microsoft with a nearly one-month lapse between preview and retail -- that's an uncharacteristically small amount of time for the company to give itself to iron out any remaining kinks.So far, we know that Windows 8.1 is a free upgrade aimed at improving the Windows 8 user experience, particularly the Metro / Modern UI areas of the OS. The update will feature the return of the Start button (but not menu), better Start Screen searching and customization, access to most system settings without leaving to the desktop, enhanced apps and Internet Explorer 11.@ http://www.techspot.com/news/52860-windows-81-to-ship-on-8-1-according-to-paul-thurrott.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
