It's about time. Windows 8.1 will be released to end users in October (http://news.cnet.com/8301-10805_3-57599990-75/windows-8.1-is-ready-gets-released-to-manufacturers/), and RTM is being released now: 'Windows 8.1, codenamed "Blue," is introducing a number of changes designed to make the new operating system more palatable to current Windows users. Windows 8.1 is adding a Start Button, a boot-straight-to-desktop option; the ability to unpin all Metro apps; built-in tutorials; an improved Windows Store and a host of other consumer- and business-focused features. Microsoft launched its one and only Windows 8.1 consumer preview test build in late June
