Windows 7 SP1 Close to RTM, Build 7601.17514.101119-1850 Signed Off

That'll be great if they can roll-up SP3 pack for Vista and SP4 for XP before terminate them.....so everyone could download those packs in case of system's crashing, none will go through hours of install anymore, my thought!

As far as I know Microsoft have no plans to produce a 3rd Service Pack for Windows Vista. For Windows XP, Service Pack 3 is the last one that it will receive until all support for the OS is ended.

If you already have original media for both of these versions then you can quite easily integrate those Service Packs into the install.

I know that, but there are still Sooooooooooooo much updates after the SP3 for XP went, and SP2 on Vista.....to download!

Microsoft, said nothing of the sort. Nor have they said there would be any performance improvements. Basicly Server Pack 1 for Windows 7 is nothing more then a rollup of all the current update. Windows Server 2008 R2 is the one getting all the new features.

They didnt said anything about performance improvement but its there, after i installed the last one leaked ive got a 100% improvement on graphics performance on games on all machines i installed it.
Im refering to windows6.1-KB976932-x86, 6..7601-17125, windows reports now V.741.

So wait you got 100% improvement in performance for your graphic card...where you using 0% of it before....was it turned off or something? :huh:

 

[pmc]

No, i didnt changed anything beside applying that service pack.
Then i went to play a bit and notest the diference.
It was very evident:

StarPoint Gemini: on intro ship took forever to fly by on screen, i notest it was fluid.
Eve Online: i was only docked at station and chatting as i had +- 20fps, after sp1 i have a stable 40fps and i tested undocked, its was good enough.

Note: i didnt changed any setting, just removed old sp and applied the new one.

 

[johnwillyums]

20fps to 40fps! 100% improvement in my book

How easy will it be to integrate Service Pack 1 into the original disk? I think I used vlite when I used vista which made the process a lot easier.

vlite was a hack and unsupported way of doing it.
Can use this guide and skip all the automated unattended stuff by skipping to step #9 Sysprep a Windows 7 Machine (and skip step #12)

So will Sp1 (on a fresh install) intergrate the first 80 or so windows 7 updates into the installer? Or will we have do download all the updates again and then Sp1...?

It should roll-up all the updates til the windows 7 SP1 RTM release.

 

[brianzion]

I think I'll wait until Microsoft officially announces RTM and provides updates through Windows or Microsoft Update site.

sound advice marsmimar being windows 7 i would wait till the official release from Microsoft i remember xp and vista and all the probs that come with it.

 

[johnwillyums]

Agreed. If it's not going to be anything amazing anyway why bother taking chances? I'm gonna sit and wait for it.

 

[brianzion]

service packs are only the updates and bug fixes etc windows have given us during the real-time the op system has been active so i cant see it being anything out of the ordinary, if it aint broke dont try and fix it

I know I'm getting WAY ahead of myself here, but I seem to remember issues with V-Lite versions of Vista with SP1 integrated in not being able to update to SP2..... Vista SP2 is out - Page 13 - Vista Forums

Point? V-lite caused problems with updates.

I'm sure most of us will probably have reinstalled our OS like a thousand times before SP2 comes out but.... Just something to think about
