Microsoft confirms Windows 7 SP1 RTM, released to OEMs today

[Phone Man]

So after shutting down my computer and starting up again today, I can definitely say there are optional updates, as I just got a slew of them, for my monitor, MSSE, my ethernet, etc.

Thats what I was thinking. Optional updates should not be a part of SP1 since they are Optional. Are some of those also Recommended? My system shows 30 Recommended (not including Defender Definitions) and 4 Optional. Close to 200 Important which I assume would be included in SP1.

Applied the update on my Samsung Netbook. All went well...

I think if I wasn't dual-booting on mine it might have gone OK. As the 1st OS is XP I seem to remember a similar problem installing a Vista service pack years ago because it couldn't find the correct boot files (Vista and later OS's use different boot files).

Just done a clean install with SP1 integrated!! Everything's running fine, feels smooth as silk

In case anyone is interested, I found that list of updates in SP1:

Hmm! I even went back to the original Google return and got the same response. Apparently, they removed the page...too bad, because I had intended to use it, after finishing my current chore.

When all you front runners finish with it let us "official" waiters know what you think? Not that I'm not going to install it anyway, just gonna wait till the official release hits Windows Update.

Thanks

I'm down with this

Im going to have to do a clean install anyway again new ram new mobo so it is obvious i don't need it as of yet but im sure it runs fine ussually in situations like this the update will be available the following week so no worries all ............

On my system, If I were to roll back from the SP1 RTM(?) here is a list of the updates which would be restored leading me to believe all of the listed updates are included in the Service Pack:



My entire list of installed Windows updates now consists only of these 6 items:

 

[seekermeister]

Could you do that again, with the columns widened, so that the KB #s aren't truncated?

EDIT: Can't be certain, but that list appears to be shorter than the list that I had previously found. I think that would be because your list only contains the updates that were previously installed, or can't be uninstalled, and doesn't include all updates in SP1.

Actually, all of the KB numbers are visible except the first two. The ones that appear truncated, except the first two, have the KB number listed right after the "for_" text, the truncation is the same number on the few that are displayed so, except for the first two. (I can't expand the window of the System Restore Report regarding the "Scan for affected programs" but I can expand the columns (as you requested) to show the top two):



The list is more than likely shorter than the entire list but should be commensurate with any other x64 based system as I've installed every update offered. I did, however, have the SP1 Beta and then the RC installed once each was available possibly affecting the list but I doubt it would affect it much. I never had as many installed updates as are listed to be restored in the previous, longer, screenshot list.

I looked at the information for SP1 RC and there were over 600 updates. Most of those were Hot Fixes which most people won't have on their system unless they were having a problem and downloaded them.

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

You have to be validated to download the file. Takes just a minuet to get the validated code.

Thanks, Jim!

My list is, apparently, specific to my system, of course. Still, it's more updates than ever have shown up in the installed update list prior but that might be attributable to having had the Beta and RC SP1 builds installed prior to installing the SP1 RTM(?) build.

625 updates included in SP1 RC according to the Excel file download referenced in Phone Man's post above.

It appears the RTM(?) might have even more:

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 includes all previously released updates for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Many of these updates are available to the public on the Microsoft Download Center and Windows Update, while others are only available to specific customers or partners. It is standard practice to include all of these updates in a Service Pack and as such they are included in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1.

This document contains a list of these updates with links to their descriptive webpage on http://support.microsoft.com. There are other updates in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 which have not been released as updates and therefore are not presented in this list.

Disclaimer: This is a preliminary document and may be changed substantially prior to final commercial release of the software described herein, as newer hotfixes and security updates will continue to be included in the Service Pack until closer to the release date.

There are 520 Hotfixes, 78 "Non Security GDR" (whatever that is) and 27 "Security" updates listed.

FWIW, the SP1 beta shows 473 updates included.

Are you sure? The rows go to 635 but the list starts at row 11. You might want to recount.

I'm going to give this Service pack a go, It seems good already so far.

Hey Anthony,

To remind folks thie service pack isn't just updates, it has some software improvements and additions too. What exactly I can't lay my hands on at the moment but I know I saw that somewhere.

Looks most of all those improvements and additions goes to Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1...:sarc:

From what I have read, ALL of the improvements and additions go to WS2K8 (I guess you could call security updates and hotfixes improvements).

Yep! Windows 7 service pack 1 is just a roll-up of all the updates and few hotfixes improvements from the retail time.

I can only understand the hurry and happiness of those installing the SP1 on windows 7!!!
