Russian site wzor.net, which leaked many builds of Windows 7 during its development, last week posted some rumors about Service Pack 1 for the operating system. According to the rumor, Windows 7 SP1 will have two betas and two release candidates. Testers may get the first beta as early as December 2009, the public will get it in January 2010, the RTM is scheduled for summer 2010, and finally the RTW will arrive in autumn 2010. At least, that's what the schedule supposedly looks like right now. We're getting this summary after using Bing and Google to translate the Russian text, so something could have been lost in translation, but, more importantly, such an internal schedule is bound to change.
