    What is the reason for installing 1 hotfix twice? I doubt, that the OS will accept it at second try.

    What is your opinion on at the end of april doing the start trick of 8 d/l then stop and start 8.1 d/l that you would end up with a complete
    8.1 up to date with 031 build ?

    I suspect if they update the downloaded version links, we'll have a lot more interest in decrypting the esd files.
    I only wish I knew how to do more than print "Hello, World!" to the screen.

    I used to program in C back when I was like 19, but I was mostly following examples. I didn't really understand what I was doing.

    Some rumors that, this is not the final updates. You have to reinstall your windows again when the final release of the updates are set.

    There were similar rumours when Windows 8.1 RTM'd last year :D

    The choice is up to you...believe in the rumour & install the update when it arrives officially or just install the update now & use the new features right now :cool:

    But please, don't spread the rumour :nono: as it creates confusion for others & they will ask the same question again & again that whether the leaked update is RTM or not.

    What can be a reason that it is not a final build ? because after the final build there is updates to fix the bugs.

    I thought this theory was already debunked by several MDL members, don't remember why exactly...

    I always wonder why it takes Microsoft so long from the time the update is finalized and approved until it is actually available to download. It should be instantaneous. The web sites should be set up and ready to go once the code is finalized and everybody signs off on it. All they have to do is turn the page on so we can see it. Why the long lag time?

    To make sure nothing is seriously wrong with it, obviously.
    It also gives them time to propagate files to servers, modify update settings, test upgrade requirements and different systems.
    If you release everything you do without testing stuff, it gets really buggy really fast.

    Question about April rollup update :
    Will be 2 version of this update : one for win8.1 and second for win8.1.1 ?
    Or only one update for win8.1.1 ?

    Long time because
    Microsoft send it product oem (original equipment manufacturer): Example: Dell, HP, Asus ... etc. so that manufacturers test the new version of a product such as Microsoft Windows or a new update in this case. And computer manufacturers to adapt their drivers (drivers: ex graphics card) so that the drivers are compatible with this new version, and help Microsoft to finalize their Windows related errors in the new version of Windows.

    I installed Murphy's iso and I have no bugs excellent work from him, from past experiences in only two weeks away from official release it's almost certain that the leaked updates are the final ones, I remember after Windows 8.1 release, Microsoft launched another tiny updates from that and guess what, after a month it released another patches and continues that way until now. So bad xp has stopped receiving updates :biggrin:

    The so-called "debunked" was base on the assumption that KB2941455 is a public hotfix, the fact is it is a test KB targeted to OEM's only.

    I've heard that 17031 is the RTM from sources earlier and more accurate than WZOR, so unless for a extreme reason, this wouldn't change.

    But I won't be so sure that KB2919355 is final, or what version of win8.1Update1 will hit MSDN. :p
