Windows 7 Service Pack 2 Released (sort of)

[Nazmus Shakib Khandaker]

I learned of this updated from Windows Weekly last week, in which Mary Jo Foley mentioned this update. Microsoft is calling it "An enterprise hotfix rollup is available for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1"

Basically, this is very much like a SP2 for Windows 7 in that it includes 90 hotfixes and patches released after service pack 1 in one huge update. There are some new features as well.

The update also includes (aside from the 90 hotfixes):

• Improves the Windows Client Remote File System components. These components include the following:
  
  • Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV)
    
  • DFSN client
    
  • Folder Redirection
    
  • Offline Files and Folders (CSC)
    
  • SMB client
    
  • Redirected Drive Buffering Subsystem (RDB)
    
  • Multiple UNC Provider (MUP)
    

  [*]Improves the SMB Service and TCP protocol components. These improvements work together with other improvements to help improve the overall networking performance on Windows 7 SP1-based and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1-based computers.
