With previous versions of Windows, I used to get a little tickle of anticipation of an upcoming Service Pack Release.
I don't have that tickle about about a 7 SP release.

I just can't wait for it should they add graphical acceleration support for VPC so I can do more tests with my VM. I am not in the position to by any paid software to do that. :| I would prefer VPC instead.
Microsoft slates Windows 7 SP1 public beta for July - ComputerworldMicrosoft today said that it would ship a public beta of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) in July, but did not set a release date during the month.
The company made the announcement from TechEd, the Microsoft IT and developer conference that kicked off Monday in New Orleans.
Microsoft acknowledged it was working on a service pack for its newest operating system in March, but at the time declined to discuss timeline for delivering a public preview.
Microsoft's timetable for Windows 7 SP1 is ahead of Vista's schedule by approximately two months. In 2007, Microsoft seeded an invite-only group of testers with an early build of Vista SP1 in September, but didn't offer a build to the general public until December, 11 months after that operating system's release to retail. Windows 7 SP1 is slated to appear nine months after the debut of that OS.
Today, Microsoft repeated what it said in March, that Windows 7 SP1 will not include any new features. "SP1 will not contain any new features that are specific to Windows 7 itself," said Gavriella Schuster, senior director of the Windows commercial product management group, in a post to a Microsoft company blog on Monday. "For Windows 7, SP1 will simply be the combination of updates already available through Windows Update and additional hotfixes based on feedback by our customers and partners."
The most notable addition to SP1 will be an updated Remote Desktop client designed to work with RemoteFX, the new remote-access platform set to debut in SP1 for Windows Server 2008 R2, which will also reach public beta next month.
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 will also include a feature dubbed "Dynamic Memory," which lets IT staff adjust guest virtual machines' memory on the fly
fix the SC freezing, or keep the SP to yourselves.
It was announced at TechEd Monday that the public beta of SP1 will be out by the end of July.
