I think it's all stupidly confusing. Really, if it's got a mountain symbol on it then it's a "proper" winter tyre. M+S is still marked on tyres because, where Winter tyres are required by law, it's the recognised indication that the tyres legally qualify as Winter's.
The All Season's we get here are really full winter tyres with a bias towards year round use. Having said that, I've just got some Kumho KH21's All Season tyres and they have a much more aggressive, blocky looking tread pattern than the Winter Michelin Alpin's on my wife's car.
