Here's what we now know:
1. It will not be called "Update 2." Despite stories that suggest otherwise (ironically, even the title to this article), Micrоsoft is calling this month's Windоws 8.1 update simply: "August Update."
2. It will not be cumulative. The August Update is a standalone patch that does not include bits from Update 1. This also means that Update 1 is a requirement.
3. It will not be mandatory. Unlike Update 1, the August Update is not a requirement for Windоws 8.1 to continue to receive future updates, however, as noted above, Update 1 is required before the August Update will be offered. |
