A quick peek around the web this morning had me tripping over reports of SP1 Beta for Windows 7. Geeksmack posted the first screen shots<\/a> of the suspect on April 6th along with the build string:<\/p>\n

6.1.7601.16537.amd64fre.win7.100327-0053<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep in mind that this is not confirmed by Microsoft and I’m not suggesting you go looking for this on P2P sites, although apparently that’s exactly what others have done.<\/p>\n

In addition to the obvious risks, there’s just not much to fix with the original release.<\/p>\n

According to Techsmack, “The install process is much of what you would expect from a service pack installer, but one thing I noticed is that the installation is MUCH faster than the install process for service packs on Vista was, which is a very welcome change,”<\/p>\n

Earlier reports from Microsoft indicate the SP1 will contain mostly minor updates and would be nothing like SP1 for XP or recent Vista service packs.<\/p>\n

Microsoft confirmed earlier that Remote FX and Dynamic Memory will be new features included with this SP. Both deal with remote desktop and virtualization.<\/p>\n

Anytime I see reports of service packs my mind races back to how fast boot times were for Windows XP before any service packs were added.<\/p>\n
