The update that releases next Tuesday is for Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows RT 8.1, so the same bits that include the revamped Start Menu will also be provided across those platforms.

Is this a new direction from MS, actually listening to what certain subsets of users want? If it is, then I'm impressed. I doubt very much they will bring TechNet back to us also though....I think that interferes too much with what they're hoping to do with Cloud OS.
