Last Friday we heard of Microsoft’s plans to roll out half a dozen updates for Windows 8 and Windows RT and it sure looks like they have started the roll-out process as part of the company’s monthly “patch Tuesday”. We knew to expect improvements for security, performance, Internet Explorer and some more.

The Surface RT received a firmware update which addresses performance issues; according to reports, the Microsoft tablet running Windows RT is now snappier and app load times are somewhat quicker. If you want to learn more about the bits included make sure to hit up the source link below. Meanwhile, we’ll take the new bits for a spin on our own Surface and let you know if we spot something out of the ordinary.
