"Eagle-eyed bloggers who, it seems, have nothing better to do with their time then to scan Microsoft’s Windows 7 underbelly, recently discovered a Registry Key that points to service pack 1 of the operating system.

 

Windows 7 has only been available to consumers for less than three months, and already there is talk about when the platform’s first service pack will land.

 

But putting this into context, it’s unlikely that a package of updates for the OS - which has proved unsurprisingly vastly more popular than its predecessor - will rock up any time soon" source

Our Take: We're not sure what all the fuss is about surrounding a Service Pack for the recently released OS. Unlike Vista, Windows 7 isn't broken out of the box. And if we're to really stretch things, we could call Windows 7 the ultimate Vista Service Pack, because it pretty much fixed all that was wrong with its predecessor and added some goodies of its own.
