Windows 8 is getting a new free update to Windows 8.1 come august, and a developer preview is out now for testing, coming in a 32-bit and 64-bit flavors sized at about 2.7Gb and 3.7Gb. The new update addresses some things that many people disliked with windows 8, its lack of a start button. Its not a complete overhaul but a sort of "service pack-ish" update with some slight improvement with hardware compatibility, optimizations, and some cosmetic updates as well. In my opinion this update is just more of a ploy for people to update to windows 8 and Microsoft can make a few more dollarydoos.
Notable things that you might actually benefit from in this update, again just from my use with the OS, The start button, option to boot directly to desktop, upgraded settings, and if you like to make customize then you can change up your start screen a bit more.
If you have windows 8 it will be a welcome update, not a must have especially if you have bandwidth limits or something similar, but its a bit nicer than stock. Not all features are announced but when they are ill make a new update telling if its worth it or not to upgrade!
