Looks just about exactly the same as 8 but you've now got an icon to take you back to the 'metro' start menu instead of just clicking in that corner.

Caught a glimpse of The Gadget Show with some Panasonic Tough Book thing. Pretty sure it was Windows 8.1 proper. 
 
Increased security features and other stuff too apparently.

All sorted. Intel Bluetooth drivers to sort out. 
 
Seems EXACTLY the same   
 
Apart from to unlock all 8.1 features need to buy an additional product key...
