According to this if you're careless about installing all windows updates 7 and 8 will do the same:

Fortunately most or all of those updates are "Optional", in particular the two mentioned in the main body of the articlen (KB3075249 and KB3080149). So if you're set up to only install "important" updates you'll have skipped them, as I did.
