Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 r2 Service Pack 1 Release Date

Category: misc Tags: windows patch

According to Microsoft on February 22nd Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008r2 will be released on Windows Update as well as the Microsoft Download Center. Those of you with access to MSDN or TechNet as well as Volume License Key (VLK) customers will get access to it early, on February 16th. Which of course will be followed almost immediately with dozens of torrents on the 16th about 5 minutes after.

The service pack includes, two new desktop virtualization features (RemoteFX and Dynamic Memory) as well as collecting all of the updates and fixes for the operating systems in one update rather than dozens of others.

I've been running a beta version of it for a little while now without any problems, so this should be a nice update for one of my more liked Microsoft Operating Systems. If it wasn't, Linux would have totally taken over my systems by now :)
