Windows 8.1 update to be rolled out on October 17

Just a few months after its Preview version was released, Microsoft is now set to roll out the Windows 8.1 update to devices currently running on Windows 8 starting at 12:00am on October 18th in New Zealand or 8:00pm on October 17th local time.

The update, as we pointed out on one of our previous post, will bring a handful of new features that are missing on the current version of Windows OS, including customizations to further improve the overall user experience.
