Windows 7 Service Pack 1 now available

February 22nd, 2011 by AndyAtHull

Microsoft has officially released the first Service pack for Windows 7. Which is now available from Windows Update.

It comes after SP1 was in their plans since early 2010. Our friends at Winrumors.com have a bit more info to share:

“Work on Windows 7 SP2 has already begun as early as fall 2010. Microsoft is reportedly planning 132 updates for x86 Windows 7 SP2 and 171 updates for x64 Windows 7 SP2 at the time of writing. Microsoft hasn’t officially started talking about SP2 but expect it to land in the 2012 timeframe.”

“SP1 includes RemoteFX which provides rich 3-D graphical experience for remote users. The service pack also will include a series of incremental updates, previously released on Windows Update for both Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.”

You can get this Service Pack from Windows Update on Windows 7. But also at the Microsoft Download Center.

Microsofts’ next release is believed to be the full version of IE 9.
