Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Beta Is Ready For Testers
1st service pack of Microsoft Windows 7 is probably coming later this year. Microsoft have already begun assembling the group of testers who will receive the first beta of Service Pack (SP) 1 for Windows 7 along with Windows Server 2008 R2 in July. Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) will be available in 5 languages- English, German, Japanese, French and Spanish.
The guys from Redmond have started sending out invitations to those who they wish to have involved in the SP1 beta testing program, so it wont be an open beta like Windows 7 itself was. At Microsoft’s TechEd conference last week, they did say to expect the Beta of Win7 SP1 to come along sometime in July, so it appears they are sticking to that promise. Zdnet, have reported that they expect Windows 7 SP1 beta to be delivered in Mid-July around the time Microsoft holds its Worldwide Partner Conference in Washington.
You may already know that SP1 won’t include any major changes or new features for existing Windows 7 RTM, instead it’s just going to clear up and fix any bug issues that are still lingering in the OS.
Here’s a copy of the invitation below that’s been sent to testers-
