sincity Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Pump the brakes on your excitement for the Windows 8.1 Update 1 release - we may be in for a longer wait than expected. According to the well-connected Mary Jo Foley over at ZDNet, Microsoft has pushed the update's target date to early April, moving it from March 11 as previously planned. Foley's two sources said the intention remains to have the update land on a Patch Tuesday, or April 8 to be exact. There's no word why the release date has been pushed back, except that March was an ambitious target to begin with. Screenshots of a Windows 8.1 Update 1 pre-release build made it online earlier this week, showing a tweaked design to make the OS more welcoming to mouse and keyboard users. Pinning Metro apps to the Desktop taskbar, new context-sensitive menus with added right-click powers and dedicated search and power buttons on the Start screen are all reported parts of the update. Build 2014 is right around the corner - here's what we expect from Microsoft's big dev conference Yes, Microsoft has a new CEO. Why don't you get to know him?
