They should have just called it win8.2 and be done with it.
I agree.
Having installed the update, since it appears to be an important one - modifies the entire OS more along the lines of a service pack - I am somewhat dismayed to find that on the system info (via control panel) it merely reports that my system is Windows 8.1. Not 8.1 update.
To find the actual version, you have to swipe the start button and examine the log on screen, or go to add/remove programs, forearmed with the KB number concerned.
Those KB numbers mount up after a while.
Not good management, IMO.
