But it is continuing to push Windows Phone 8.1?

Their marketing of this update has been completely flawed. It has a stupid name: Windows 8.1 Update 1. It is actually a really minor update, the only change I've noticed is the ability to pin Metro Apps to the task bar, and some icons for mouse interaction in Metro Mode. It should have just been a KBxxxx (Mouse Enhancements) update, like any other.

And proper context menus for the start screen.

Actually it's called "Windows 8.1 Update," which is arguably more stupid. A lot of recent MS products have been using Update n (e.g., Visual Studio), so in fact if they'd called it Update 1 it would have made more sense.

Well that didn't take long. After a short honeymoon period, the Nadella regime makes its first truly asinine move. To be fair, he was already saddled with 8.1, but this is just a gigantic mess.
