Microsoft confirms Windows 7 SP1 RTM, released to OEMs today

[Mashed1316]

Do you guys think that MSDN/TechNet will release Windows 7 SP1 (slipstreamed) ISO's?? because i don't like the idea of doing it myself with a 3rd party application.. :huh:

In due time, yes.

P.S. There are currently some ISO's out there

Meh, i'd rather wait for the official ISO's from MSDN/Technet hehe, i was asking because i was going to do a clean install probably in a couple of weeks and... it'd be a lot easier if i use a Windows 7 SP1 ISO instead of downloading the SP1 as an update... but i guess i'll wait until those MSDN/Technet ISO's are available

Honestly, I wouldn't hold your breath. It could be a while, but you're right, official is the way to go

Just installed SP1 on my production machine. It's now working flawlessly.

Just installed SP1 on my production machine. It's now working flawlessly.

And this means that it wasn't working properly before and this corrected some significant issue?

No problems with the SP1 RTM on the desktop, but it deleted my wireless network I had setup on the laptop and had to add it back afterwards.

Had to repatch themes to work.

I was referring to Beta where I had some error messages. That was weird. =\

Sorry for not being clear.

I'm stoked! (that's all I have to say. It's not like SP1 is fixing some crazy ass issues)

Also looks like SP1 for x86ers via Windows Update is estimated at 23mb and the x64 version is estimated at 45mb. Not bad.

I installed it on my system..Installed without any complication

 

[Mitchell90]

Time for a clean install on my production machine.

   Note

Please guys, no posting links or links to links

 

[Ex_Brit]

Sorry, you also removed the link to the slipstream tutorial. Can I post that as someone earlier was asking for one?

 

[z3r010]

Sorry I didn't notice that

Yeah it would be fine to repost the slipstream tutorial link.

 

[Ex_Brit]

Someone earlier was asking about slipstreaming SP1 into the system disk. There's a tutorial here: How To Integrate or Slipstrem Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Into Installation DVD ISO

I have not tried it yet so cannot vouch for it.

As it's early days for Windows 7 SP1 yet I am sure there will be more, even one in our tutorials perhaps?

Yes they will but from experience it will be quite a while before they appear there.

I notice that the actual Service Pack hasn't even been posted yet.

Yes it is posted as I just got it this morning and installed. Works great.
I downloaded the .iso of 1.8gigs.

I really don't understand all this hoopla about slipstreaming sp1 into the original
disk. In a corporate environment, I just carry two disks and the documentation.
Works for me. A lot less aggrivation.

YMMV

[Ex_Brit]

You got it from their evaluation section? Sorry I forgot about that. It isn't in general downloads yet unless I am totally blind.

That evaluation center version is RC so not too sure if it's the final version or the one before. It isn't very clear.
