nsane.forums Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 A rumor "from Russia with love" claims that Microsoft has now signed off on the final RTM version of Windows 8.1 and plans to offer the OS update to its many OEM partners on August 16th.Microsoft has already said that it plans to release the final RTM build of Windows 8.1 to OEMs sometime in late August. Today, claims have been made that Microsoft has now signed off on the final RTM build of the OS and will in fact deliver the build to OEMs on August 16th.This report comes from the Russian language website Microsoftportal.net, which claims that the news was first posted on a Russian forum by a known Microsoft news leaker. That person says that the Windows 8.1 RTM build was completed with the build number 9500.10554.Of course, this report is squarely in the "rumor" category" but if true, the timeline of events would seem to to follow Microsoft's previously announced plans to get Windows 8.1 out to OEMs. A previous rumor from ZDNet claims that Microsoft will make the final build of Windows 8.1 available to the general public shortly after it reached the RTM stage.PC makers will likely offer new laptops, desktop, tablets and hybrid products with Windows 8.1 installed sometime later this fall, and you can bet Microsoft will hit the public with a new campaign of ads to promote the updated version of Windows 8.View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
