Joe Belfiore, who is the head of platform at Microsoft, for smartphones, tablets and desktop devices, said that the Windows 8.1 update will come this spring and with it, it will come with improvements for non-touch devices. Speaking to a narrow circle of press attendees, Belfiore described that the Windows 8.1 spring update will come with many hardware and software improvements for non-touch device, but said that The much-hyped about “start” button will allegedly make a comeback, to make it look just the same like it was prior to the Windows 8 launch. Plenty of other mouse and key-board friendly features will be deployed, as well. There are now more than 200 million Windows 8 licenses sold, but we don’t know yet how many of these run Windows 8.1. The next update for Windows 8.1 will also bring improved compatibility for education and enterprise, as Microsoft probable feels that they are losing the game to Apple’s devices, such as iPads and even Google’s Chromebooks. The Windows 8.1 spring update will change the requirements needed to run Windows 8.1, as these will begin with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage inside. This will increase the number of Windows 8 devices, without a doubt. The Windows Phone platform will also extend to a new range of devices and it will also support Qualcomm Snapdragon 200, 400 and 400 LTE devices. Besides this, important software features will be added, such as fexibility in how keys are implemented, optional the camera button, introduction of other softkeys, support for dual SIM in new devices and many others.
