FaiKee Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Neowin News has reported about MS announced that Windows 8.1 RTM will make its public release on Oct. 18, 2013 https://www.neowin.net/news/windows-81-coming-october-18th MS announcement on Windows Blog http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2013/08/14/mark-your-calendars-for-windows-8-1.aspx Mr. Leblanc in the comments section did not go further to reply questions about RTM date, nor MSDN release dates. I think it's not appropriate to discuss win8.1 new findings in the "win8.1 enterprise" thread, better to discuss in a new thread. :) - Neowin news also reported about "MS plan for win8.1RTM final coding on Aug. 23". From what I knew, this date was actually the initial target date, it might have changed, and rumors are all flying around. - Also, people also find out in the latest leaked build 9471, the KMS activation system has changed, the current available so called "KMS tools" couldn't be used anymore, furthermore, Office 2013 installed on build 9471 were also using the same new KMS channel, and couldn't be activated This is something about warez, better not to go deep into it, so, just FYI. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeston Veteran Posted August 15, 2013 Veteran Share Posted August 15, 2013 You mean October 18th, not August 18th. Atomic Wanderer Chicken 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Wanderer Chicken Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 It is October 18th and not August 18th sadly. Whenever I see Windows 8.1, I think of 3.1. Ian W 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted August 15, 2013 Global Moderator Share Posted August 15, 2013 This gives OEMs lots of time to push their new devices and for the hardware makers to have good, stable, 8.1 drivers ready. Sucks that we have to wait for it that long but it should be better for everyone in the en. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaiKee Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 I would expect a leak soon after OEM's got their copies in late Aug. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freak180 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Any chance of RMT 8.1 leaking out before the 18th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timster Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Any chance of RMT 8.1 leaking out before the 18th? just like previous versions of Windows, I'm sure that 8.1 will be on torrent sites before it goes RTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+InsaneNutter MVC Posted August 21, 2013 MVC Share Posted August 21, 2013 I see the taskbar is still annoyingly transparent... :/ I think it looks good personally, it's one of the things that doesn't actually bother me. It's not like tools don't exist to remove it though if it annoys you that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Active. Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I think it looks good personally, it's one of the things that doesn't actually bother me. It's not like tools don't exist to remove it though if it annoys you that bad. Agreed on both counts. I use Start8 which has an option to disable the transparency, but I've come to like it the way it is. In fact, I wouldn't mind if MS added a bit of blur to it.
