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 first service pack for Windows 7 has been sent to original equipment manufacturers, according to reports.

The move was reported in a post on TechNet by Microsoft’s Russian Windows Visualisation team. Microsoft launched the first release candidate (RC) for Windows 7 SP1, and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, in October 2010, saying that it would be the only RC prior to the software being finalised and made available to manufacturers. The company also promised that SP1 would arrive in the hands of users in the "first half" of 2011.

Windows 7 & Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Release Candidate

Microsoft announced the Release Candidate (RC) of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1) to the public.  This RC signals the last public beta build to be released prior to the Release to Manufacturing (RTM) final release.  As previously announced, the only new features added to the SP1 are the Windows Server 2008 R2-related virtualization technologies, Dynamic Memory and RemoteFX – please see the Windows Server Division Weblog for more details. These features will help customers who choose to deploy Windows through Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) by enabling a more scalable and rich user experience.

While Windows 7 SP1 will enable PCs to take advantage of these server-based features to provide a more scalable and richer VDI experience for end users, there are no additional new features specific to Windows 7.
