Windows RT 8.1 Update Pulled From Windows Store

UnknowingFool writes "After reports of update problems including bricking of some devices, Microsoft has pulled the 8.1 update for RT from their store while they investigate. 'Microsoft is investigating a situation affecting a limited number of users updating their Windows RT devices to Windows RT 8.1. As a result, we have temporarily removed the Windows RT 8.1 update from the Windows Store. We are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible and apologize for any inconvenience. We will provide updates as they become available.' While update problems are not new to software, could this be a consequence of Microsoft not releasing 8.1 RTM to developers? Developers may have experienced problems earlier and alerted Microsoft before it went live."

    Did you know I can swim in water? Yeah it is pretty amazing you know!

    WTF you ask? Well, in the article it says: Microsoft has pulled the 8.1 update for RT from their store....

    You then wrote, "My Surface Pro (not RT) update went swimmingly". I reply? Really? No shit Einstein, especially since it seems that your system is not affected! So go ahead mod me down, and call me flame bait, but I was actually looking for comments where they talk about RT and not releasing to developers and their experiences with RT...
