Launched in Oct 2009, Microsoft Windows 7 revived the interest of many to the Windows-based PC. I consider Windows 7 as the successor of Windows XP (not Windows Vista), and after more than year since launch, Microsoft is releasing its Service Pack 1 (SP1).

What’s included in the Service Pack 1 of Windows 7?

Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) is an important update that includes previously released security, performance, and stability updates for Windows 7. SP1 also includes new improvements to features and services in Windows 7, such as improved reliability when connecting to HDMI audio devices, printing using the XPS Viewer, and restoring previous folders in Windows Explorer after restarting.

Download the Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) now via the Microsoft.com Downloads section or simply launch Windows Update from your PC. Alongside the SP1 launch, Microsoft is also releasing the Release Candidate (RC) for Internet Explorer 9. Based on my initial impression of IE9 — well, it’s just faster than the previous version (IE9 Beta).
