Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Leaked

Microsoft continuously
improves Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 by providing ongoing
updates while working with software and hardware vendors to deliver
application compatibility and hardware compatibility improvements. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
(SP1) is another vehicle through which Microsoft provides operating
system improvements to customers.
SP1 is an update to both Windows 7
and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
R2 that, along with improvements delivered to users via other channels,
addresses feedback from our customers. As with previously released
updates, SP1 contains changes that are focused on addressing specific
reliability, performance, and compatibility issues, supporting new types
of hardware, and adding support for several emerging standards. SP1
also continues to improve upon the IT administration experience. SP1 is
not intended to be a vehicle for releasing new features; however, some
existing components do gain slightly enhanced functionality in SP1.
Service
packs also help ensure that your systems are up-to-date. Updates to the

including updates released with bulletins from the Microsoft Support
Response Center, will be reviewed and built only for currently-supported
service packs. Installing the latest service pack ensures customers
have the maximum support lifecycle for their investment. Service Pack 1
for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 will include previously
released updates and will deliver a number of powerful new features for
Windows Server 2008 R2 for virtualization and Virtual Desktop
Infrastructure (VDI). New techniques in memory management with the
addition of Dynamic Memory functionality, as well as the ability to
deliver full-fidelity graphic experiences in remote and virtualized
environments with RemoteFX, enable organizations to realize the
greatest possible potential from their infrastructure. The resulting
increase in efficiency and functionality allows for accelerated [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.],
a more powerful virtualized desktop infrastructure, and an increased
return on technology investments. The impact of SP1 on the
Windows 7 client operating system is considered to be minimal. Included
changes are expected to address minor usability issues in specific
scenarios, as outlined in this document. While Microsoft always
recommends that users deploy the latest service pack as quickly as
possible in order to maintain the best levels of support, security and
user experience, we are strongly recommending to customers and partners
that deployment of SP1 should not be considered a blocking issue for the

of Windows 7. In other words, organizations do not need to wait for
SP1 to begin receiving the value of Windows 7 today as we don’t
anticipate the SP1 for Windows 7 to be substantial.
