http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/08/windows-8-1-2013-08-27-01.jpgWe caught the first Windows 8.1 (aka Blue) news back in March, and after several betas and a preview, it’s been bundled off to manufacturers. That’s a mere five months from alpha code to gold master, a fact that Microsoft trumpeted as “an unparalleled level of collaboration” between customers and Windows product teams. Current Windows 8 owners will get the update for free, but all end users will have to hang on until the official October 18th release date. With a month and change left, though, it looks like all the ducks are in a row to herald the return of the tech world’s most infamous button.
