Today, I just want to take a quick run through of the install experience. System Imaging is now included in all editions of Windows 7 and I find it very handy and convenient. I have managed to work around even such a situation by keeping recent in tip-top shape system images of my system to avoid doing such as thing.
Personally, I find the offline Windows 7 SP1 installer very handy for my setup, since my Internet connection is unreliable and I have a few machines to update, if I need to reinstall Windows 7 RTM for some unknown reason, I don’t have to download every single update for the machine. Microsoft has resolved this since the advent of Windows Update service introduced in Windows 98 which simplifies getting the latest updates for your computer and devices along with having the latest version of Windows on your PC. An IT Pro had to manage deploying updates to hundreds of machines. Also, Service Packs were convenient for a period when all that seem to exist were dial up connections. This is a old interpretation that is more linked to the days of Microsoft’s HCL (Hardware Compatibility Labs) in the 90’s when you had to carry the book included with your Windows NT Workstation package to determine whether your hardware was ready or not. Still, many IT environments use Service Packs as a milestone to determine in their own right when its fit to start migrations from a previous version of Windows. Users should not expect anything new or different with this update, which again are just the same updates you can get today from Windows Update.
It mostly consist of a rolled up collection of updates that have been released for the OS since it went RTM (Released to Manufacturing) in July of 2009. Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 is the first major maintenance update for the latest Microsoft Windows operating system. I am a BETA Nutcase and it seems to be that time of the year where I get to go crazy, with betas for for Microsoft Windows Live Essentials and Windows 7 out, I thought, its time to start playing around with some of these goodies.
