Beta of the first service pack for Windows 7 will appear in July

As the day has been dominated by Apple, Microsoft also released an announcement today, though far less bombastic. The first Service Pack (SP1) to Windows 7 will have its first public beta in July.


Traditionally, most large companies choose to wait for SP1 to install Windows on a massive scale, because this update will fix the errors that always appear when a system is new.

On the Windows Blog explains that the SP1 will not contain new features that are specific to Windows 7. SP1 is simply a combination of updates that are already available through Windows Update, plus some patches based on feedback from our customers and partners. In other words, customers can feel confident in using Windows 7 now! "

As this will be very interesting next SP1, though just serves to re-assure businesses that the system is not going to fall. Many companies are still clinging to Windows XP, after having received terrible reviews. Microsoft also will provide support for Windows XP SP2 in July.

It is expected that the official version (not beta) of SP1 appears at the end of the year.
