Also, here is a third party article which claims that the templates are migrated to SharePoint 2010 but as these are third party templates, support from Microsoft would be limited to best effort

SharePoint 2013 SP1

Update
http://blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2014/04/22/sp1-for-sharepoint-2013-has-been-rereleased.aspx
Wow, this first phase of the update takes a long long time … I will need to test to see if shutting down any services will speed up the process.

Hopefully to share more cool features in the future, have fun!
