For just a five month Windows 7 has established itself as a fastest selling operating system ever and already reached a 90 million sold copies mark. Despite that tremendous success, Microsoft has to continue to update and evolve the platform, which is why rumors and speculation are already beginning to mount regarding a Service Pack 1 (SP1) release.Web is buzzing around development of SP1 by Microsoft and it is rumored that upgrade would be released by the end of 2010.
Unlike Windows Vista--which was a public relations nightmare pretty much from the day it launched--Windows 7 has been well-received and seems to be exceeding most expectations. Businesses that have adopted Windows 7 seem generally satisfied, and users are not clamoring for fixes or updates, with the possible exception of the battery issue reported by some.
There are some reports online of a leaked version of the Windows 7 SP1 beta. The leak may or may not represent a legitimate build of Windows 7 SP1, but if it is authentic, it suggests a variety of changes and new technologies that will be delivered. For example, some of the SP1 changes noted in the leak include a new way to display thumbnails in the taskbar, support for firewire cameras, reducing the size of the paging file, and multitouch zoom.
Microsoft representatives do not comment on this speculations saying "We have nothing new to announce at this time and will be in touch should we have more to share."
As opposite to Windows Vista prompt release of SP1 there is no rush in Windows 7 case as the system is already stable and reliable and organizations satisfied with productivity and security levels of the platform. Although there might be some upgrades in tools and technologies that will make it a worthwhile upgrade there is no reason to wait for SP1 and hold off the decision to implement the existing system.
