When Microsoft will release SP1 for Windows 7?

I'm curious as to the criteria that Microsoft uses to determine where they should go out a certain Service Pack for their operating systems.  IM counting 43 updates already installed for my OS to Windows 7 and this OS is officially released less than a month. Im not here to complain the number of patches. Its impressive speed at which they release security patches when they occur. But my complaint would be more to have to download and individually install all these fixes in the future, if I were ever a reason any. Once again, what my question is, when can we expect the first Service Pack 1 for Windows 7, and what criteria are going to Microsoft during this decision to release a Service Pack?

P.S. For the record I think that its sad that Microsoft does not release a Service Pack 4 for Windows XP. IM already on Windows 7, but many people don't. Even if the system fades into history, it all seems like the right thing to do given the number of a security updates for the operating system from the SP3. System configuration: Winndows 7 RTM, Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L motherboard, Intel Pentium Dual - Core E6300 Wolfdale 2.8 GHz, 4 GB of memory PC-1066 DDR2 Patriot Viper, 500 GB Western Digital hard drive, GeForce 8800GT Videocard

Hi BradleyA,

Thanks for visiting Microsoft answers CommunityForum!

First of all, I want to thank you for your valuable suggestion. From now on, there is no information about the release of Service pack 1 for Windows 7. The same will be be intimidated through updates.

However, incase if you want more information, please visit the below mentioned link:

I waited more than 24 hours now and I find it unacceptable to keep the people waiting for such a highly anticipated update.

    did anyone know when these product keys are likely to become available because I'm starting to lose my patience now.

I suggest you to buy wii you and enjoy its features and then buy ps4 and the last xbox 720. They have their own characteristics and qualities of different games. According to experts, the most successful game console is a PS2. because of the ps3, Microsoft tilted ps2 production to sell the quantity of the PS3.

  • Power Toys Image Re sizer for Windows 7 64 bit - WHEN! When it will be redesigned for Windows 7?

    I like windows 7 - I don't understand why the hell Microsoft does not have staff of digital photo or feel that he is not a necessity - was not necessary - to include the image resizer (such a small but effective and useful point) in windows 7.

    Let me first start by saying:-I know there are other programs out there are perhaps those who are still free which is re-size of the images. This question goes to those who normally use, or perhaps use the toy of the power of Microsoft which has a Re sizer image and they want - if you do not change the pictures or knows no image editing etc.... Please pass this question...

    I like windows 7 - I don't understand why the hell Microsoft does not have staff of digital photo or feel that he is not a necessity - was not necessary - to include the Re sizer image (such a small but effective and useful point) in Windows 7.

    I am convinced there is no staff person at Microsoft who have an interest in photography because Microsoft has not come out with anything that looks remotely Digital Image Starter Edition and/or Suite or similar since it was released in 1996. It was 14 years ago. Think of the interest for photography and photography giant growth and product photography, etc... all this seems to have escaped to the spirit of an entire society for more than a decade. How is that possible? Then Windows 7 comes out, and with it, not a single program remotely associated with this boom in the huge market that is PHOTOGRAPHY and all that it encompasses. Not even the new SIZER IMAGE that Microsoft added to XP and was a hands down... feeling! Not in Vista and millions of complaints/requests to bring to the rear for - recycle for Vista - all ignored for the next 3 years - not in Windows 7. During this time... Mac sales are sky monte skyrocket. Was this all just too much to ask a simple society... couldn't you have at least thrown buyer of Windows 7 a bone and include the Power Toy Image Re sizer you missed in Vista and add it to Windows 7? I've read articles where other people say the same thing, I am at the moment - all eager to know W H Y?

    The digital camera - videos - etc... the industry has exploded with new technologies and became 'the' new obsession/hobby/interests of thousands or even millions of people - make the pro little people who cared too long at all if they captured a moment on film. How does this "boom" (if you want) in the interest of this leaflet thought eyes and the thoughts and minds of ALL the creative staff at Microsoft... it's amazing really - who are the spirits of power/creation at Microsoft for lack of a better term - IDIOTS... My God - no one is STUPID THAT... because it is simply STUPID.

    If Microsoft (and Microsoft is probably) a SILENCE behind closed doors with say ADOBE to promote ADOBE and AGREEMENT at the same time works back to create whatever it is perhaps at a more reasonable cost that are competing directly with ADOBE and others - and then go out with him... because it's really make Microsoft look STUPID and God knows they have accumulated more than way too many "STUPID" already in the years - come clean on this because this is a HUGE BEAST. And PLEASE... If you're not going to acknowledge the industry of digital image which is 1 million miles ahead of you already - please at least... re-the Power tool Toy "Image Re-sizer" for Windows 7 64 bit... which may not be so difficult or too much to ask - and if the statements that I made in this message are not sufficient reason - then please read thousands of blogs. etc... there where others wondering the same thing of you / Microsoft. Maybe the others they did on one your kinder, gentler. ?

    Hello

    I suggest you follow the link on the resizing in Windows Live Photo Gallery.

  • Why and when Microsoft Will release a file (s) Patch of system upgrade that will allow a 32 Bit OS system to a system of 64-bit operating system?

    Why and when will be communicated to Microsoft, an upgrade or a system Patch File/s, allowing a system of 32-bit Windows (such as Windows 7) operating system, upgrade to an OS 64-bit (as Windows 8) system?

    As for now, it is NOT possible to upgrade a 32-bit of the windows operating system like Windows 7 or Vista or XP, so that the latest operating system (such as Windows 8), but what I want to do is install (once it is released into the public domain), Windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit Windows 8.

    This situation will be resolved with time, prior before NEXT new operating system release date of microsoft.

    Thank you.

    Chris...

    I wouldn't hold my breath.  What you CAN do is to make a new partition and install Windows 8 or another 64-bit of the system on it.  It is not hard to do, and with huge hard drives that have modern computers, there are usually lots of disk space to do so.

  • release date for Windows 7

    Hi, I'm looking for a new laptop in which windows 7 should be present. Not sure what is the release date and when the new operating system will come in new laptops on the market.

    Can someone give me the exact date on when the operating system will be available on the market and in new laptops. ?

    Thank you
    Ravi

    There is no exact release Date for Windows 7 yet.

    If all goes well, it will be for sale somewhere in the last quarter of 2009, or very, very early in the 1st quarter 2010.

    More news will come out as that date nears.

  • Why when I run the installer for Windows 8 consumer preview on my computer of Windows XP Home Edition he says: "this platform is not supported"?

    Setup of Windows 8 consumer priview

    Why when I run the installer for Windows 8 consumer preview on my computer of Windows XP Home Edition he says: "this platform is not supported"?

    You can see this message if you downloaded Windows 8 64-bit and XP 32-bit. To start the installation of Windows 8, you will need to restart and boot from the installation of Windows 8 media.

    If you want to keep your current installation of Windows, you can install it on a separate partition and dual boot with the Windows 8 Preview of consumer. To install on a separate partition and dual boot, you must create and boot from the installation media.

    (1) first you will need a free partition on hard drive - if you do not you can shrink a partition and create a new one to install Windows 8 Preview of consumer on.
    To reduce a partition and add a new one that you can use EASEUS Partition Master (free):
    http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm
     
     
    (2) to install on a separate disk, you can perform an installation DVD or USB key, then boot from it so you can choose the other partition. To download the ISO file and install media:
    Download Windows 8 consumer Preview ISO:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/ISO
    After you download the ISO file - use the Windows USB/DVD Download tool to install media:
    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
     
     
    (3) installation on a separate partition for dual boot:
    1 make a DVD or USB installation drive - to see the two options above.
    2. start from the DVD or USB install drive and click on install when prompted.
    3. during the installation process, when asked - choose a custom installation.
    4. Select a free partition on the hard disk to install Windows 8 Preview of consumer - this will install Windows 8 on a separate instead of your current Windows partition partition.
    5 continue with the installation.
       
     
     
    First of all please note:
    1 consumer preview Windows 8 is a pre-release and will only work for a limited time - when it expires, you need to remove it.
    2. the overview of consumption is stable and has been tested, but it s not the finished product. Your PC may crash and you may lose important files. You should backup your data and you shouldn't test Windows 8 Preview of consumers on your primary home or business PC.
    3. If you install the preview of consumption on the Windows partition is currently installed, you cannot uninstall the preview of consumption. To return to your previous version of Windows, you will need to reinstall from the recovery or installation media supplied with your PC.
    4. in addition to dual boot, here are a few methods to install Windows 8 Preview of consumers without affecting your current installation of Windows:
    (A) remove your current hard drive and install the Preview of consumers on a spare drive.
    (B) install it on a spare computer.
    (C) install the Preview of consumer in a virtual machine.

  • Microsoft xbox 360 controller for windows problem with NFS

    Hi, I brought yesterday Microsoft xbox 360 controller for windows. I installed and the end driver. The problem is that when I play NFS Most Wanted & NFS Carbon, cars automatically starts left thin when I accelerate? Why is - this problem to occur, and what is the solution?

    I also changed the default controllers controls and set left lean & thin right to left analog stick left/right as PRIMARY & I updated lean left & lean right D - pad left/right as SECONDARY controls.

    Hi Zxcvbnma,

    ·         Is the specific issue with only Need for Speed or does happen with other games as well?

    If the problem is specific only with Need for Speed, you can try to uninstall the game and reinstall the game and check if it works fine without any problems.

    I also suggest that you uninstall Xbox 360 controller drivers and reinstall the drivers that could help you solve the problem.

    Check the settings of the game. You can also connect the controller to the other computer and use it and check if the problem still persists.

    Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • When it will be available for iOS Firefox addons of Firefox?

    This isn't a bug, just a general question. I was disappointed to see that Firefox for iOS (iPad air 2) don't have any addons. When it will be available for iOS Firefox addons of Firefox?

    What Addons refers to https://addons.mozilla.org/faq

    Firefox for iOS is basically a shell browser and isn't like the Android Firefox or Firefox for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux Office. It does not yet use the Gecko engine used by Firefox Android and desktop.

    Unless Extensions are made to support both, extensions made for office that Firefox does not work on Android version of Firefox and even with other means.

    There are also restrictions imposed by Apple.

    Not sure if WebExtensions will be an option.

    Also of note, the vast majority of Extensions for Firefox Android hosted on addons.mozilla.org to office and is an author of third party or the company and not from Mozilla.
