Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2

Image via Wikipedia

So Microsoft finally released Sp1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.  I am going to wait on installing SP1 on my home notebook, and my three Windows 7 x32 and x64 PCs for at least a week or two.  Why??  I need to ensure SP1 will be stable before I install it on my PCs.  If someone asked me to install it on their PCs, I would recommend they wait.  And no matter what, ALWAYS make a full system backup.

Here are a few links which you may have already been to regarding SP1.

• Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (KB976932)
  • WOW!! The x64 SP1 is almost 1GB!!
• Documentation for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (KB976932)
  • Page 19 of the Deployment Guide explains some troubleshooting you may need  to do if you run into problems.

I am still amazed about the size of SP1 for x64.
