Has anyone here heard anything about a service pack release for windows 7 or is it just a rumour ?
:confused:
 
Win 7 SP1 is in beta as we type. Due Q1 2011. :)
 
Do we need one? All seems to be running well here.

Oh, hang on, a blue screen just flashed up and then my desktop case exploded and sprayed rasberry jelly trifle all over the living room.

Hmm.
 
Yeah, i thought i heard summat alright..........my lapper has a few issues that it might sort out.
Who will be first to report back ?
 
Not me cos in all seriousness I don't have any problems at all.

Best OS ever, in that regard, as far as I'm concerned.

Just the one small hiccup actually, video driver related, about once very 4 to 8 weeks I get a BSOD.
 
Ill get it when its out of RC, not before, ave no need, 7 is pure win.
 
Hi All
Nothing wrong with my Windows installation but thought I'd install Service Pack One overnight. Woke up to a blank screen and when I attempted to reboot the system passed POST but would not boot.
Tried the various repairs using the original Windows 7 disk but none worked and had to resort to installing an image from an external hard drive, which involves formatting the HDD. Worked fine and nothing lost but will not be in a hurry to fix something that ain't broke in future.
Cheers

No need to fix something that ain't broke indeed.

Sorry to hear about your problem peahouse05

As V_R said, I'll wait until it's out of RC and there are no problems being reported.
 
Well done for having a backup on hand.

Thanks for the replies Guys
Had no intention of striking out into the unknown - far prefer to cower in the background. Did not read previous posts carefully enough.
Very interested in the 'recovery and repair stuff' on Windows OS disks - repaired an MBR I bu--ered up on the same system recently after messing with partitions on the HDD and also used the image on my external HD to recover a previous ba--s up as well as this latest one.
Suppose recovering the image will always work and there is always the option of re-installing Windows 7.
Cheers

I have the new 7 service pack installed and all is running really well......it's the fastest i have seen it running in a while.
Sorry to hear you had big issues Peahouse.
 
from what I've read, and believe, it is no more than a bunch of "fixes" previously released & a few new ones that have now been released.

There is no new technology to get all excited about.

Boring, boring is good in this case. :D

So there's really no reason to be chomping at the bit to get it, it's just not that exciting.

When it's offered for download via the Windows Update, I'll go get it, till then, the only Beta I want to see is GW2 ;)
