Microsoft changed the name from Service Pack to Update 1.
not really... windows 8 went to version 8.1 and it ships now as
version 8.1. Recently Windows 8.1 just had it's recent <Update>
without a number... nothing else.. just Update. the press referees to
it as Update 1. MS has specifically said it is NOT an all inclusive
service pack type update, and it was reported that MS has indicated
that there will be another one of these <Updates> in August but who
knows. It is also reported that MS has indicated that their is no
plans on any all inclusive service pack type update. I think, with
8.1, MS wants to be able to control this dynamically which forces
all users to update online as needed.
If Windows 8 / 8.1 / 8.1-Update 1 is similar to Win 7, then go to
the Control Panel and select SYSTEM and it should show what version
you are running.

There are no service packs for Windows 8 or 8.1 and it is unlikely

When Windows 8.1 pro boots up, does it display/acknowledge any
