Microsoft chief marketing officer Tami Reller revealed that the code-named ‘Windows Blue’ update for Windows 8 will be officially released as Windows 8.1. This update for the operating system will be free and available through the Windows Store.
“It will deliver the latest new innovations across an increasingly broad array of form factors of all sizes, display, battery life and performance, while creating new opportunities for our ecosystem. It will provide more options for businesses, and give consumers more options for work and play,” said Reller at the conference. “The Windows Blue update is also an opportunity for us to respond to the customer feedback that we’ve been closely listening to since the launch of Windows 8 and Windows RT. From a company-wide perspective, Windows Blue is part of a broader effort to advance our devices and services for Microsoft.”
Microsoft Build Developer Conference’s launch day on June 26 will be the first day the public will be able to preview Windows 8.1. The company says the preview will be available on Windows 8 and Windows RT.
