In any case, 8.1 was released as a new OS, not a service pack.

@mrmattimation I meant from a design/marketing standpoint. If they wanted people to think that 8.1 WASN'T the same OS as 8, they wouldn't have named it 8.1
-
@rarity Yeah but at the same time they didn't call the Windows 7 updates "Windows 7.1". I'm pretty sure they were marketing it as a much more major upgrade than previous updates to past versions of Windows.

@mrmattimation Win 8.1 was basically like 98SE, a polished relaunch.
-
@nerthos Yeah, but you still had to pay to get that polished relaunch back in 98, didn't you?

@mrmattimation I really do not remember.
