can't see them including .NET 4 as developers using .NET 3.5 might get conflicts, they have never including newer versions of .NET with Vista service packs, can't see them doing it this time, would be nice though for us end-users. Bluray burning support, .mkv support, new games, replacing windows defender with microsoft security essentials would be good too but for anti-competition reasons i can't see that happening either.

They could improve the features drastically but i can't see them doing that as there would be less reasons to buy win8 then.

ahh, so it can:P can't see them adding bluray playback to WMP tho, pesky royalties:(

that would be currently neat of them to include it .......at very least maybe they should include it as win7 ultimate feature ?

USB3 support shall be nice in SP1 :) I hope that SP1 is slipstreamable and not just putting the .exe in the update folder on the dvd.

Slipstreaming the same way it used to be done in XP is not possible under Vista/7. Just install the update, sysprep, then capture the image, or, as you said, just slap the update in the update folder (which is the new way of "slipstreaming").

or wait for a SP1 integrated .iso to be put on technet/msdn and download the leak of it:P

I've got a legit copy of win7 pro, cost me ?80 but i want a properly integrated SP1 .iso as i format a few times a year due to upgrading my pc regularly, ms forcing me to illegally download:( they should just release a hotfix that will let you slipstream or release a seperate tool.

Off topic, but has that CHKDSK memory leak been fixed with these updates that have been going around for Windows 7? There hasn't been any specific information on that and I am starting to need it.

For crying out loud, there wasn't a memory leak in CHKDSK. Does anyone not pay attention to crap anymore?

Please those who care about improving the OS by SP1 instead of chanting the "Windows 7 is perfect" mantra, please request the features from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_featu...n_Windows_Vista and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_featu...ed_in_Windows_7 on their forums. Only if enough people complain they might fix some issues like no total size or free disk space on status bar in Explorer, ability to disable auto sort so your files don't get scattered and so on.

There is no perfect OS out there. I don't have any problems with Windows 7 Pro and I don't see any bugs that would require a SP. All I can say is the first build of Win 7 is better than Vista ever was or wil be.

Don't be so pathetic. Microsoft aren't forcing you to do anything. You're downloading stuff illegally yourself. *rolleyes*

It is not that we think it is too early to start working for SP1, rather just too early to even reach a beta milestone for SP1 without waiting for some post-launch feedback. From what I have been reading about MS, they probably will be releasing SP1 sometime next summer, which puts it just one year after they RTM'd Windows 7. Basically all their release times are accelerated now compared to how they used to do things prior to vista.

Agreed - I think it's too early to meet a "beta" milestone but I do think they will be working on it.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      What about HL3?

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
