anuseems Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Supersite for Windows published a review on Windows 8.1 Update 1It's fair to say that much of the surprise behind Windows 8.1 Update 1 was ruined by leaks, including the final version of the code, which has indeed been floating around out there for several weeks. But no matter: Update 1 matters, and is the clearest indication yet that Microsoft remains committed to listening to feedback and writing the wrongs of the original release of Windows 8.http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/windows-81-update-1-review Edited April 3, 2014 by anuseems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Looks like they reviewed the leaked "spring update" and not the final version because there was no mention of the start menu.Generally, I find Paul's reviews a bit wider on perspectives than the rest of those dumba$$ Reviewers - he has done quite a reasonable job, yet again.However, he has not reviewed the latest release - the giveaway is his reference as Update 1 instead of just Update.BTW, FYI - the Start Menu has not been deployed on even the latest Update - it's yet to be deployed later, this year.

It’s back! Today at its Build conference, Microsoft announced that the company is returning the traditional start menu to Windows. The company is also adding the ability to run Windows Store apps in their own Windows. The updates will be available not in Windows 9, as previously rumored, but in a future update to Windows 8.1.In a brief demo, Microsoft’s VP of operating systems showed a desktop screen with Windows Store apps running in their own windows and a traditional Start Menu open on the desktop. However, the Start Menu also contained tiles for Windows Store apps. Source: https://news.yahoo.com/microsoft-bringing-back-start-menu-181904123.html Microsoft has announced that the Start menu will be coming back to Windows 8.1 and showed off what it will look when it arrives later this year. This is a huge win for those of you who have wanted a Start menu on Microsoft’s latest version of Windows, and it will likely silence some critics of the platform. Another new feature that will be coming is that you will be able to run modern apps in a windowed environment too. The Start menu will be returning to Windows in a future 8.1 update, which is in contrast where we heard that the Start menu would come to Windows with Windows 9.When you couple the Start menu with the Windows 8.1 update that was announced today as well, Microsoft is doing a lot for the platform in terms of making it user friendly for mouse and keyboard users and for those who do not enjoy the modern environment.Source : http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-shows-off-the-start-menu-that-is-coming-to-windows-81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering if they are going to remotely uninstall the MS patches that we got that night then re-install there new patches to implement the start menu like the photos show.Or is it going to be a totally new MS patch to add new code to the kernel?

dcs18 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Or is it going to be a totally new MS patch to add new code to the kernel?I'd bet on this one as the right answer. :)My only hope is that they don't hard-code their Start Menu, when there are options - everybody can go home with a happy feeling.

dcs18 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Ok, answer few questions -Q.1 - What is releasing on April 8th?It's the RTM which may / may not undergo last minute change/s before being released.The one that was released to MSDN is supposed to be checked out, by select subscribers before it's released to Manufacturers. In the meanwhile, it's deliberately leaked to the general public and in those 6 days of testing, Microsoft receives a lot of general feedback, from almost all walks of society.Ok, answer few questions -Q.2 - If this is the SP2 for 8.1, when the hell is it that the SP1 released?Q.3 - 8.1 is SP1 of 8 and 8.1 update 1 is SP2 of 8, is that it?Windows 8 = BaseWindows 8.1 = SP1Windows 8.1 Update = SP2Ok, answer few questions -Q.4 - What is the size of Windows 8.1 update 1 pro VL x64 iso?Now, how about you move your lazy non-comprehending butt just a little bit, to find out for yourself (you won't attain nirvana on this thread.)
