SP1 for Windows 7, Server 2008 R2

I’m hearing from a couple of my contacts that Microsoft plans to announce on February 9 that Service Pack (SP) 1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 has finally crossed the finish line.

(There have been a few earlier reports that SP1 was done and out, but today marks the official RTM announcement, my sources say. I’ve asked Microsoft officials for comment, but no word back so far.)

Microsoft readies Windows 7 service pack, say reports

The company also promised that SP1 would arrive in the hands of users in the "first half" of 2011.
