Windows 7 SP1

[David Ben Yosef]

Has anyone heard anything about the release date of service pack 1 for Windows 7?

Hello David, and welcome to Seven Forums.

The Windows 7 SP1 is suppose to be released sometime in the first half of 2011 so far.

Has anyone heard anything about the release date of service pack 1 for Windows 7?

Yep, see the article in the "news" section here. Not till 2011 and a non event.

 

[David Ben Yosef]

Wow, that was a fast reply. Thank you Brink!

 

[David Ben Yosef]

Thank you ZigZag, I'll have to check that article out.

 

[Brink]

Glad we could help David.

Do you think TechNet will offer the Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 DVD for download? That way we don't have to mess with the WAIK tool to integrate the service pack?

 

[Brink]

Hello David,

They usually do, so I'm sure that they will.

Hello David,

Do you know for certain though? Perhaps you have a link to a TechNet article on the subject?

I've always seen MS respin the DVD's...so I don't think you will have to make it for yourself. But we still have 6-9 months before there is any release of the service pack

I'm pretty certain. I have a TechNet and MSDN account, and they had the different editions of XP w/SP's and Vista w/SP's available for download not long after they standalone SP we released for download.

I can't give an exact date, but it should be the same. Perhaps we'll know more exact dates when it gets closer for the Windows 7 SP1 release date.

How is the SP1 Beta working out for you, Brink?

 

[David Ben Yosef]

Nevermind, I just downloaded and installed the beta version. No problems thus far, but I don't like the "evaluation copy" text on the bottom right hand corner of my desktop.

 

[Brink]

I'm not having any noticable issues with it so far either. Yeah, the "evaluation copy" text is a bit unseemly, but at least it helps remind you to uninstall the SP1 beta to install the final SP1 when it's released.

 

[David Ben Yosef]

Yeah, good point. I did just discover a hiccup though. When playing music with Windows Media Player 11, the music fades out abruptly and then fades back in. Have you noticed that at all?

 

[Brink]

I haven't noticed that yet.

 

[David Ben Yosef]

It could have been due to another running process, because I had just booted up when that happened. I'll keep you guys updated as to whether or not it continues.

 

[David Ben Yosef]

As it turned out, it was Shark's codec pack that was messing up my audio. Once I uninstalled it, all went back to normal.

I see TechNet has Windows 7 SP1 already integrated on the installation discs, and available for download. My subscription expires next month, so I just made it. WoooooHooooo!!!!

Time to go download CRAZY! LOL

 

[Brink]

LOL, yeah best download while you can.

 

[David Ben Yosef]

LOL, yeah best download while you can.

No doubt! I've got a good start already....
