So despite rumors and speculation, we are not planning to deliver a
Windows 8.1 “Update 2.

With these monthly updates, we continue to refine and improve Windows
8.1 in a more nimble way, creating a richer experience for all Windows
customers.

Following are some of the new features and improvements included in the
August 12th Update Tuesday:
•Precision touchpad improvements
•Miracast Receive
•Minimizing login prompts for SharePoint Online

This update will be delivered automatically via WU and optional through
WSUS. Enterprises can take the update anytime. Further details on the
update will be included here on August 12th.

For current Windows 8.1 consumers who have elected automatic updates,
the rollout will be gradual to ensure all customers receive the update
in a timely manner. Those who wish to install the update ahead of
automatic updates may do so beginning August 12th manually via Windows
Update.

Summarized
- nothing major compared to what the media and masses think would or
should be provided
- staged deployment (not all will obtain at same time via automatic
Windows Update
- ability to install (override staging) by manually running Windows
Update on/after August 12th.
- same model/approach for future 8.1 updates (apparently smaller,
incremental than majory) and deployed with routine monthly updates
- as noted in the past there is no Update 2 in MSFT terminology g
