It took ages to download and install it. But I'm really glad that this update improves performance and reliability.
p.s. It's also strange that update files for W8 are called Windows8-
RT-KB2xxxxxx-x64.msu
Why they have RT in the filename? And what does RT stand for anyway?
That big update does this.
