Before we get ahead of ourselves, let's cover a few heads-up/FAQ comments:
•It will likely change your system's current behavior:
◦For starters, unless the device is a tablet, a system with this update will boot to the desktop by default

◦See the chart further down in the post for a clear list of what default settings are changed and how

It does NOT include the Start menu that you may have seen/heard about at the recent Build conference. That is some exciting near-future stuff, which demonstrates our on-going commitment to deliver on customer feedback (such as your comments on this very blog) •It is defined as an "Important – Security update" in our Windows Updates framework
•It is a cumulative update to Windows 8.1 that includes all previously released security and non-security updates

◦Failure to install this Update will prevent Windows Update from patching your system with any future updates starting with Updates released in May 2014 (get busy!)

◦Windows 8.1 media/WIMs/TechNet ISOs/Store bits/etc will be slipstreamed with this Update in the near term
