Representatives of Microsoft shared fresh information on the forthcoming first comprehensive update for Windows 7.
Previously, we received information that the first service pack will not contain anything "extraordinary". Now, experts at Redmond argued that after upgrading, its performance and efficiency will be much better.
As part of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) will include all updates issued during the period since the launch of OS in commercial use until the date of the official release SP1. That is, if your Windows 7 is set to receive automatic updates, you do not lose, except for, say, some improvements in the technology of BitLocker, which is in daily household use is not required often.
Also, after installing Service Pack 1, your copy of Windows 7 will no longer need a hardware-assisted virtualization-mode; Windows XP Mode will be able to work on a very ordinary budget processor, which was sometimes very important (at present this change in XP Mode is available after installing the patch, the number is KB977206).
Expected time of release of Windows 7 SP1 - October-November 2010.
