What is Windows Blue?

Microsoft has sold 100 million Windows 8 licenses. Next up is Windows 8.1, aka 'Windows Blue'. Here we look at what is Windows Blue (Windows 8.1), as well as the likely Windows Blue release date. (Updated 12 June 2013.)
Windows 'Blue': Microsoft blows it
If you like Windows 8, you'll like -- maybe even love -- Windows 8.1 "Blue." But if you're a denizen of the old-fashioned Desktop world, without a yearning for touch and/or you don't want your PC to act like a smartphone, Windows 8.1 will disappoint -- big time.
Last week, Microsoft invited several members of the press for an on-the-record two-hour demo of Windows 8.1, code-named "Blue." Microsoft took me off its Christmas card list some time ago, but the reports among journos on the ground are telling: Windows 8.1 offers more of the same, with a few new twists for touch users, but nothing substantive for the Desktop.
