Windows 8.1 Update 1, the first major pack of improvements for Windows 8.1, is expected to debut next month with a new IE version that would feature several enhancements, including a so-called Enterprise Mode that would allow companies to add support for specific apps.

It turns out that all these improvements will be implemented in the Windows 7 build of Internet Explorer 11 as well and, according to some recent reports, this particular package is expected to leak to the web anytime soon.

Windows leaker WZor, who already has a good track on Windows projects, said that IE11 Update for Windows 7 with Enterprise mode build 11.0.9600.17029 could be leaked soon, as Microsoft has already completed development of the browser.

As you know, Windows 8.1 Update 1 has recently reached RTM, which means that the company has finalized work on the upcoming release and is now making the final adjustments for the big launch in early April.

According to people familiar with the matter, Windows 8.1 Update 1 is expected to be released to MSDN subscribers on April 1 or 2, while everybody else should get it on April 8, the same day when Microsoft releases the Patch Tuesday fixes for its product lineup.
