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.

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.

    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years

      Which finger's fingernail are we talking about? I can see how not having this info can lead to massive differences in interpretation.
    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.

    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
