Win8RTM was 9200, win8.1RTM was 9600, if there was a win8.2, to be consistent with this jump, it has to get a legit RTM no.(i.e. multiple of 16 and 100), next candidate is 10000, 10400, ...... But windows codename 9 prototype build 9622 was made in end 2012, and the new win9 branch has been making new builds. The build nos. win8.1 could use without conflicting the 16/100 multiple rule are 9601~9615 as these are the 4 bits reserved for SP's(2^4=16), but we see the latest know build is 9600.17105; so it seems MS is not going to use these SP build nos. either.
Faikee could you open a new thread to explain this Windows assembly versioning scheme in-depth and detailed? Or point us to a webpage to fully understand this?
It's really not that hard, RTM build numbers are multiples of 16 and 100, like 9200 and 9600. SP builds increment the build number by 1, for example 7601 (iirc). Minor updates (or updates like Update 1) will change the number after the main build number, like 9600.17105.
But... there is another update in the works that's coming out soon with more Desktop changes (New Startmenu, Metro apps in Window) which may very well be 8.2
