SP1 for Windows 7 July

Microsoft wants to eliminate the excuse of many companies that install a new Windows only to have the first service pack.

By Orlando Rojas Pérez - Microsoft is well aware that many large, medium and even small Windows 7 not installed until it is released the first Service Pack. For this reason Microsoft has accelerated the launch of the first SP for Windows 7. This will be available for the month of July 2010.

Microsoft patch Tuesday Explorer, Office and Windows

With its monthly security update, Microsoft will on Tuesday 34 vulnerabilities in Windows, Internet Explorer, Office and SharePoint through ten security bulletins. Of these, three have been rated by Microsoft as "critical", the highest level within the range of danger of the company.

The remaining seven bulletins are, as classified by Microsoft, "important", the next level in your system vulnerability assessment. As for the versions of IE, Office, Windows and SharePoint affected include Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows XP SP2 and SP3, Windows 2000 SP 4, Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8, Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Office 2007 Microsoft Office 2008 Mac and Microsoft Office SharePoint Services 3.0 SP1, plus two versions of the server operating system (Microsoft Server 2003 SP2 and Windows Server 2008 SP2).

One of the patches for IE solved a problem to get illegally exploitable user information. With respect to the hole in SharePoint, it is a profitable decision for the achievement of administrative privileges on the affected system. Some vulnerabilities resolved in this update also allow remote code execution on the victim machine.

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.

The beta of Windows 7 SP1 will not bring new and made public in July

Microsoft has announced the public beta of Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 will be released in late July. The announcement was made in the Tech Ed is Microsoft doing in New Orleans (yes, while the WWDC10). This coincides with what was said earlier this year, although there was talk of June. Will we see the final in September?

The main developments are for Windows Server, especially in the field of virtualization, and Windows 7 logically benefit. But there is nothing specific to 7, more than a collection of updates that have been published through Windows Update and some revisions based on suggestions received from customers and partners. It would have been appreciated more than anything, but if there is, not for the beta. And I suspect that for the final either.

Come on, that if you expected something new for Windows 7 and what can be forgotten: these are the only settings that have been made so far. While we all would like to see something new out of this service pack is more a routine than anything else. But do not despise and we consider it as a good sign about the overall performance of the latter system of Redmond.
