Windows 7 proved to be far more robust at the launch in October than has been the case with its predecessors. Companies that plan to upgrade need not wait for the first service pack (SP1). How it sounded from market researcher Gartner already last year.
And so it sounds again, this time from Microsoft.
The company outlined yesterday what the first service pack for Windows 7 will contain.
It is just small bug fixes, which essentially already been made available through Windows Update.
It said Microsoft's Brandon LeBlanc, who embarks on the plans in this blog post.
- There is no reason to wait for SP1, he writes.
Completely stripped for news in service pack will it not be.
Windows Server 2008 R2 gets two new virtualization capabilities, named respectively RemoteFX and Dynamic memory. Windows 7 gets on his client support for RemoteFX. Read more about these features on this page.
Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 is based on the same code base, and service package for these two will consequently released simultaneously.
When that will happen is yet unclear. Microsoft has not yet gone out with any road map or final date for when SP1 becomes available. Normally published the first service pack around a year after launch. With Windows XP it was 11 months, while with Vista 14 months did not materialize.
