Windows 7 SP1

Rumours are starting to surface about Microsoft dropping Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 in Q4 2010. Microsoft won’t confirm these reports but they do have a pretty well established product lifecycle for Windows. It took them just 14 months to release Service Pack 1 for Vista so a Q4 2010 Windows 7 Service Pack 1 release seems to be a probable timeframe. Granted Windows 7 has had strong adoption rate numbers but many corporations out there will wait until SP1 is released to start their migration activities. So SP1 may be less about major fixes or performance boosts and more about selling the corporate customer on Windows 7.
