Microsoft typically releases new builds of Windows to its developers well before the rest of us can get our hands on it, and that RTM (released to manufacturing) version is usually the final code. Apparently this time, Microsoft is not sending out their final bits until a bit later.
I had heard months ago from my sources that Microsoft’s plan with Windows 8.1 was to shorten the usual gap between RTM and general availability. The thinking, supposedly, was to provide existing Windows 8.1 users with the final bits very shortly after they RTM’d — all part of Microsoft’s more rapid delivery cadence goal. Even if Microsoft waits until mid-October to release the Windows 8.1 RTM bits, the company still will have managed to deliver to customers a new release of Windows within almost exactly a year — instead of three years after the previous release, as was the length of time between the release of Windows 7 and Windows 8.
