But does Windows 7 need a service pack?

Need one? No. It'll still get one though.

good find lol

Personally, I don't believe in fixing something that isn't broken. Windows 7 works just fine as it is right now and I will not be installing SP 1, unless or until there is a SP 2 available to fix all the things SP 1 will break.. XP was the last good OS to be released by MS, but XP SP1 was a disaster. I see no reason to believe MS has learned from its mistakes

Right.. Anyways, it may not be broken for you, but I'm sure for others it might have some quirks.

There are leaks, and then there are leaks. Some from good sources, some from bad. Pretty much it can be like playing Russian roulette.

Update:
Zukona is still let us waiting for some reason. Still no download link.
May be the news that floating around are true and he wont leak it until 8 Marc.
May be he changed his mind like he did once with one of the beta leaks in the pre-rtm ages.
Keep on waiting......

I would question as to why somebody would want to run a leaked copy of a service pack???? How can you be sure that there aren't nefarious bits added in to invade your privacy or steal your information?

If you trust the source and know where it came from it can be a plus.
With Vista SP2 beta's each one got better, the only pain was you had to un-install the current one before installing the new one. Vista has v105, v113, v275, v286, escrow, rc, etc..

Totally Agreed.

I am not a fan of leaked software since you don't know what might be travelling with it waiting to land on your computer and relax and more than likely mess up you PC. I would rather wait just to be on the safe side

Another dude who's got zero idea on the reputation of zukona. Obviously a late-comer. Ha,ha..

I really enjoyed all the leaked build frenzies last year and I would certainly trust a genuine Zukona leak.

But, whilst I'm eagerly awaiting the service pack, W7 is running great for me.

So I don't think I'll bother with a leaked build and I don't think it'll be long after the leak that the real thing comes along anyway.

Yep. If it weren't for the zukona leaks, The majority of us would have been limited to 7000 or 7100

As far as SP1 goes though, I can easily wait for it to trickle down officially.

The thought of a leak of a build on the road to W8 makes the old red mist come back though.

lol, ditto - do you have a link? Is this the right version? Have you noticed any differences? This build is GREAT for me - this build is BAD for me....

*sigh* The memories

I'm doubting that. I can't remember exactly but even with the Beta/RC builds of Windows 7, unless you activated it, you only got the days it gives you.

^^ then wats the SP1 timebomb for ? Suppose , i've activated version of win 7 and then I install this SP1 beta..then will only "SP1" beta will have that timebomb ? After 2011 , the SP1 will get disabled ? @ beta/RC builds we didn't had any SP thing in it.It had only 1 timebomb..that was of OS.
Edit : If u look @ SS of zukona's winver , it shows OS "timebomb" in a whole and not of SP1 only..

I can't say for sure how it works. But I believe if you have an activated copy of Windows 7, and you install that SP1, it would stop working on the date it shows under winver.

^^ Thank You for replying.
It will be interesting to know , how it works
