For anyone who is exceptionally brave and fancies installing a knock-off version of a major OS update, a beta version of Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 has actually disclosed onto the torrent networks.

The valiant can take some trivial hope from the information that it can be uninstalled, so relax, as the windows installation is said to survive the experience long enough for one to install the real version when it is officially launched.

Most people have had given a pretty warm response to the Windows 7, so this makes the matter even bigger.

As even the internal version number divulge, Win7 is fundamentally Vista version 1.1. Even though, some people running previous leaked versions report that there are new ones in there too, SP1 is mainly a rollup of previously-released hot fixes.

For desktop Windows however, there are no enormous changes as the most noticeable is projected to be built-in support for USB3. Along with two new features for those using Hyper-V virtualization: Dynamic Memory, meaning on-the-fly adjustment of the memory allotment of running implicit machines, and for virtual desktop infrastructure users, the new RemoteFX feature, which delivers Direct3D acceleration to users on thin clients, servers running W2K8 R2 will definitely get to see more improvements.

One may be cynical, but the main motive for a comparatively minor SP1 coming so soon after the release of the OS, is possibly just an attempt to bolster those corporate waiting for the first service pack before rolling out the new OS.
