nsane.forums Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 It's well known that Microsoft is prepping a service pack for Windows 7, and now it appears an RC version has leaked to the web. The current build weighs in at a hefty 353 MB and is currently making its rounds on your favorite torrent site. Microsoft is expected to release SP1 next week at PDC 2010 on October 28th. Just with any service pack, Windows 7 SP1 will contain all previous fixes and patches rolled up into one update, as well as bug and security fixes that are still currently being tested. According to Wzor, the leaked Windows 7 service pack comes in at Build 6.1.7601.17105.100929-1730, which indicates that the release was blessed by Microsoft on September 29th, almost a month ago. This age could also indicate that there are possible revisions to the release that is currently circulating. Wzor has an incredible track record for these types of things, its probably safe to say that this is the real deal. However, as with any leak, install at your own risk as this is not an official release by Microsoft and depending on who you download it from, the file could have been altered. Again, This is a Release Candidate software, install at your own risk! View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Betas and RC's are never meant to be final version installed on working installations anyway... not to mention the unforeseen incompatibilities that can occur.. I actually like the new IE9 Beta though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irefay Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Anyone know if there is any advantage (ie does it install more cleanly) to install the OS with the SP (once it is realeased officaily as one package) vs installing all the hotfixes seperately?Also- Any new stuff coming with SP1?

HX1 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Not unless you are going to in VM or on a test machine... and don't expect to find open support for it unless your have a TechNet account.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalaffa Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Not much news according to Kenneth. He's providing a pretty good review of it though. Check it out at his blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
