Where can I download the full ISO version (I assume you mean full Win7 SP1 ISO)?

It'll be on MSDN (see first post)

The last time I checked you could download the full ISO version or individual 7 x86, 7 x64, and 2008 server stand alone versions. The ISO when burned can do all three. Sometimes like with IE 9 you can download a web installer that is a small file that starts the installation. With that file you need an internet connection to download the rest and finish the install. Or you can download the full offline installer that contains all the files needed for the install and doesn't require a network connection. I usually download the full version and save it to a thumbdrive for use after a clean install. For windows 7, instead of downloading and burning the ISO you can just download the smaller file for 32 bit or 64 bit.

Download details: Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 Release Candidate (KB976932)

So, this is the RC for SP1. When the final release is out later this month, will this link you've provided also have the final release .iso? I assume it would.

The KB number will remain the same but it will be the final version of SP1

Why would you be worried if the link will remain the same? Once the SP1 is made publicly available, you won't have any trouble finding the download links.

I chalk it up to a bad case of OCD (obsessive computer disorder)

Don't worry ...be happy ...
It'll show up in your wds update ..when time comes ....

I understand that. I've been checking TechNet once a day, just in case. I'm sure the links for the real, final SP1 will be plastered anywhere and everywhere.

Once the finished SP1 is available you will start seeing the redistributable form at places like Softpedia as well as on the MS downloads center. In fact they apparently were asked to remove a link they had on their site prematurely?

They still carry the RC link posted and a changelog(list cf changes) still posted for the beta dated 6/25/10. The changelog can be looked at Windows 7 Service Pack 1 RTM Build 7601.17514.101119-1850 - Changelog - Softpedia

You can be sure they will be one of the first outside of MS to be providing a download link as they do for the SPs from previous versions.

Hi all

I don't know how these sort of developments get scheduled but to my pea sized brain it would make BLINDING sense to include IE9 in the SP1 release - as well as allowing for a separate download.

Since both are scheduled to be released at approximately the same time this to me seems a totally glaring mistake by MS NOT to incorporate IE9 into the SP1 - they could also make this an optional feature to install when you apply SP1.

Why make stuff for the END USER more difficult than it need be -- SP1 would in my eyes seem the OBVIOUS place to include IE9 on it.

Perhaps some of you guys who work in Software development can explain why MS couldn't do this - even if it's just internal politics / competition between the various development teams.

Cheers
