Windows 7 SP1 RTM due on February 16 for MSDN customers, Feb22 for web

So the SP that I have on my USB Drive, is the right one then? I don't need to download it from WUpdate?

OK at present, today we had the sun, temps didn't get above 45 F and there's a nearly full moon in the sky, apart from that nothing much changes around me, that's if you don't count me getting shorter by the day

I have the one that came out last month.

Downloaded the ISO for the Service Pack yesterday (from TechNet) and installed it on all the machines running 7 (and Server 2008 R2). Very lengthy install (45 minutes - 2 hours). Fastest on Server 2008 R2, which is a dual boot pc, dual-core AMD, with 7 Ultimate x64 of which SP1 took a bit longer to install. 1 laptop (2 yr/old Lenovo) running 7 HP took a little longer. The longest was my newest and fastest laptop, a triple-core AMD, running 7 Professional.

So in order from fastest install to slowest: Server 2008 R2, 7 Ultimate x64 (x2), 7 HP x64, 7 Professional x64.

If the hashes match, they are the same...

Official or not...

I downloaded the sp1 from ms technet and the dvd ran and updated my toshiba laptop and my i7 machine in a short time. all seems well. It looks like it is a good one, can't see a lot of difference yet. I then went and updated my ie8 to ie9 and it seems to be ok. Good thing I made an acronis image before I did anything with sp1. So I am safe for a while. <G>

Just a FYI. I'm currently working on a very detailed Slipstream Windows 7 SP1 tutorial, and should have it posted tonight sometime. This will be handy for those without a TechNet or MSDN subscription to be able to create their own Windows 7 with SP1 installation DVD or ISO file.

I'll post back with a link to here it when it's complete. :)
