@Ramhound agreed upon finding out that they changed the kernel version from 6.2.XXXX (Win8) to 6.3.XXXX (Win8.1). Windows Vista stayed as 6.0.XXXX through SP0/1/2, and Windows 7 SP0/1 had kernel version 6.1.XXXX. So I'd agree, windows-8.1 and windows-8 should indeed stay as separate tags (question updated to reflect this reasoning).

| Aug 7, 2013 at 18:15 | comment | added | allquixotic | I agree with @Ramhound, don't make them synonyms. Windows 8.1 adds more features than most/all service packs, except maybe Windows XP SP2. With new features will come many new questions that are not applicable to plain old Windows 8. It'll get even more confusing if FOO_FEATURE is one way in Windows 8, another way in Windows 8.1, and yet another way in Windows 8.2. | |

@Breakthrough - I think we should avoid making them synonyms because Windows 8.1 is NOT Windows 8.While it will very hard to avoid the upgrade to Windows 8.1 once released because of Windows Store support and software support Windows 8.1 is not really a service pack.There is also the upgrade process and a specific tag to indicate upgrade problems will be helpful.In a year I might change my mind about the tags being made a synonym.It might be smart to simply wait and find out what comes after Windows 8.1, if we are talking a Windows Red type update in 2014 a new term might be required

| Aug 4, 2013 at 17:13 | comment | added | Breakthrough | @nhinkle agreed, I think we should just avoid even having a windows-blue tag unless absolutely needed. I edited the original question to focus on the issue of having windows-8.1 a synonym of windows-8, only because there is no service-pack specific tag for windows-7 SP1 either. | |
