The update to Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating system that will do things like add a Start button (of sorts) back onto the platform will start rolling out in New Zealand from midnight on October 18, the company has confirmed.
However, it won’t just be New Zealand’s residents that will be able to download it from then, as Microsoft said it would also start rolling out globally. It will also come pre-installed on new devices bought after this date.
Brandon LeBlanc, senior marketing communications manager of the Windows group, said:
