Microsoft has announced that Windows 8.1 will be landing in the US on 17th October, confirming an earlier rumor of a mid-month launch. For some reason, the company has specified an exact time of 12am on October 18th in New Zealand, which is 4am PT or 7am ET on October 17th. The free update will begin hitting the Windows Store globally from that time, as well as "at retail and on new devices" on the 18th, depending on the market.
