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.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I must admit, this is probably the only game at the moment where I can see that $80 price point being ok. The issue will be when other developers think they can get away with it with half of the work.
    • Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers by Fiza Ali Google has announced that Google Wallet is becoming the first digital wallet to integrate with TSA PreCheck Touchless ID. It is a programme that lets eligible travellers move through participating airport security checkpoints using facial recognition instead of showing a physical ID or boarding pass. While the TSA PreCheck Touchless ID programme has been available for some time, using it hasn't always been straightforward. The programme currently operates at 65 airports across the US, but participation has largely depended on flying with a limited number of airlines. Travellers also had to upload passport information separately through participating carriers. Now, the tech giant's new integration is designed to remove some of those extra steps. With the update rolling out in the coming weeks, travellers with TSA PreCheck membership will be able to enrol in Touchless ID through Google Wallet and use the service with any of the 100 airlines participating in the programme. Rather than repeatedly submitting identification details, users can store a digital ID in Google Wallet and use it to streamline future trips. Setting up the feature is relatively straightforward as well. The process starts with users creating a digital ID in Google Wallet using their passport information. After checking in for a flight and saving a boarding pass to the app, eligible travellers will see a "Get started" option that directs them to the TSA enrolment process. Once users choose to share their ID pass and boarding pass information with the TSA for a specific trip, the agency will verify the enrolment. If approved, a TSA PreCheck Touchless ID indicator will appear on the boarding pass stored in Google Wallet, signalling that the traveller can use designated express Touchless ID lanes at participating airports. As privacy and security are likely to be key considerations for many travellers, Google says users must explicitly opt in before any information is shared with the TSA, and authentication is required through a device PIN, pattern, or biometric verification. The company also notes that digital IDs stored in Google Wallet remain encrypted and are kept on the user's device. For frequent flyers who already use TSA PreCheck, the new integration could remove a few more steps from the airport security process, making travel slightly faster and a little less cumbersome.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      Even though MS had to sunset the Windows Subsystem for Android, you can apparently use BlueStacks to run Android in Windows now. I haven't tested this yet, so if anyone has any feedback, I'd love to hear it.
