Microsoft released the August 2014 update rollup (KB 2975719) on Tuesday August 12, 2014. This is an optional update, but does provide two new feature enhancements:
- Precision touch pad improvements
- More information on the Windows Update tab in PC Settings
Although these don’t seem to be significant at first reading, they are certainly improvements that I have been waiting for.
More importantly, this appears to indicate a change in how new features are released. Until now, new update rollups might come out a couple of times a year, containing a slew of new features and enhancements. But, it looks as if Microsoft will release new features and enhancements on a monthly basis, in smaller chunks.
I like that!
