In light of this, the Redmond company has announced a final update push to the built-in apps (http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/02/windows-8s-stock-apps-get-pictured-tease-its-final-build/)you'll find in Windows 8. The Bing update will be first out the gate tomorrow -- it promises richer search results for local content -- with the rest rolling out through October 26th. Also of note is Music, which touts "expanded music services" as an update (Xbox Music (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/03/microsoft-reportedly-set-to-launch-xbox-music-on-october-26th-a/), anyone?). If you're itching to know what built-in apps will be updated, you can get the full and extensive list after the break.
