Looks like they've added a mention of 'Windows 8.1' since the page went live.

Is Apple playing with us ? notice the " Windows 8.1" is in different font on the website... someone must have edited the page a while ago.
Looks like they haven't made up their mind yet.
Hello Apple ? I know you're reading me.. Fix the damn Thunderbolt driver, I want sleep option back.

It has that on both of the Boot Camp software links now.
No it isn't the site - I PUT IN THE BOLD; I can remove it too 😀:

Different font. It wasn't there couple of minutes ago I put my money on that lol.
Anyone I installed this update and can't feel any difference. Maybe because my machine was already working fine with 5.0 release.
Edit : Annnnnd..... it's gone

my bad I did not know they were seperate OS, I guess I thought 8.1 was just the latest version of Windows 8

I think it's because of multiple DNS and servers that sometimes you're being redirected to different hosts.
Anyway, anyone noticed decreased brightness at max level after last update ? Kinda irritating.
