Windows 7 SP1 Screenshots Emerge

[Crispy]

When it comes to the evolution of Windows Vista's successor, Microsoft is as silent as it has always been with the products that haven't been officially unveiled. We're all aware of the work on a soon-to-arrive Service Pack 1 for Windows 7, but the few details emerged on the new flavor of Microsoft's client arrived from third-parties, and not from the software giant itself. Even so, these various sources have pointed not too long ago towards the possibility that the first external test builds of Windows 7 SP1 will be delivered very soon, and it seems that this will pan out earlier than expected.

Translating the similar post from our friends at WZor states the following...

Windows 7 SP1 Schedule
Internal BETA/Escrow - JAN 2010
BETA delivered to partners - Late MAR 2010
Public BETA - Late APR 2010
FINAL RELEASE for Partners - OCT 2010
Public FINAL RELEASE - NOV 2010

Current SP1 Build Number 7693
Expected SP1 Build Number: 7700.xxx->
Approx. 1 build every two days

...and another surprise(shouldn't be unexpected)...Windows 7 Service Pack 2 is in development with major progress starting in OCT 2010

...though this info remains unconfirmed (as always)...WZor was an extremely trustworthy source during the BETA phase of Win7 so take that into consideration

Hi all
What's Broken ?.

OK might be some new drivers but that should work via Windows update anyway.

All my machines are running W7 just fine.

Cheers

Wow this SP seem to be racing its way into 7.... im sure vista's SP took longer than this to emerge
Is this customer feedback based or M$ trying to cover-up and patch up??? or something else??

Exactly.... Im not sure. But there is definately something wrong which MS is prolly trying to coverup asap. But as for me- no problems at all.

Not really about something actually being broken. Brings reliability and performance increases, among other improvements.

Some major companies will not upgrade from XP until Win 7 SP1, Microsoft know this and are pushing it through. I look forward to the improvements.

Plus it gives us Win 7 beta leak junkies something to look forward to. It's a similar feeling to a newer build leak.

I hope you do know this pics are fake

 

[Airbot]

Most likely the case. Certainly wouldn't be hard to fake those shots.

My thoughts exactly but WZor seems pretty certain himself (not about pics but his info)...

ye that info is real, i think we can expect a leak somewhere in mid feb. Maybe earlyer if we are lucky.

I am betting myself that the Public BETA will leak in early March myself...this would be a bit before the partners get it in late March

I know what you mean. If you install some of the hotfixes floating around you can see where SP1 might end up being.

However, it seems that not all of these updates are to be included in the various flavors / stages of SP1 that Microsoft will push out to testers. Yet, one should expect them all to arrive in the final iteration. The Windows 7 SP1 Build number is said to be somewhere between 7600.20500 and .20700 at the moment, with a Beta version expected to land sometime in July, and the final variant set to be delivered to users during the fourth quarter of the ongoing year.

Build 7600.20576
