Service Pack 1: a safer and more reliable Windows 7

Two weeks ago, today, Service Pack 1 RTM (release to manufacturing or final version) for Windows 7 (and for Windows Server 2008 R2) was available to the general public after the beta version had circulated for several months. KB 976932 reported then that "SP1 for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2 is a recommended collection of updates and improvements to Windows that are combined into a single installable update." Learn how to get and install SP1 and if you are more into the tech side see the Deployment Guide for both operating systems. I had previously tested the beta version in a Windows 7 Enterprise version running in a virtual machine and was just expecting for this final release to install it in my Windows 7 Ultimate machine. So far, everything all right.
