As they have promised before when they announced about the
upcoming Windows 8.1 operating system, Microsoft released the Windows 8.1 RTM
version for their hardware partners for test purposes. Windows 8 installation
of the RTM version was a bit complex for the manufacturers as they had to make
certain changes in the hardware for the operating system to function smoothly.
Therefore, Microsoft promised its hardware collaborates that they will be able
to test the new Windows 8.1 operating system before the public gets access to
the operating system.
A company official was heard stating, “Unlike past RTM
moments, this milestone represents progress in Microsoft’s new rapid release
cycle and optimizes the overall customer experience, while highlighting the
handoff to OEM partners and wide array of devices expected this fall.” The
company also stated that it hopes that since the developer version is now
released to the manufacturers, more Windows devices will roll on in the next
holiday season. The company intends to recapture the lost tablet and smartphone
industry with the launch of the Windows 8.1 operating system.
One of the company officials was spotted saying, "Over
the next several months we’ll see beautiful, powerful devices, from the
smallest tablets to the most lightweight notebooks to versatile 2-in-1s, as
well as industry devices designed for business.” Well the release of the
developer version of the operating system this fast is not surprising as
Microsoft’s chief marketing officer Tami Reller had announced that the
operating system will be released to the hardware partners in early August at
their Worldwide Partner Conference. However, it will take a little longer for
normal customers to lay their hands on the new Windows 8.1 RTM OS. It will be a
good idea for you to adhere to Windows 8 installation steps for getting the new
operating system.
If you happen to have a Windows 8 RTM device, then you can
download the Windows 8.1 RTM for free from the Windows Store. Microsoft has
scheduled October 17 as the release date for the new advanced Windows 8.1
operating system, so you will be able to get the OS from that day onwards.
According to sources in Microsoft, the new operating system has fixed
all the important bugs that were found in the Windows 8 operating system and
will provide better performance than its predecessor in every way.
One of the important features of the new operating system is
the re-entry of the Windows Start button that was removed from the Windows 8
operating system previously.
