What To Expect From Windows 7 SP1

snydeq writes "The first inklings of a public Windows 7 SP1 beta program are beginning to emerge, with hidden registry keys and a leaked list of post-RTM build numbers surfacing on the Web. 'Beyond the obvious bug fixes and security patches, we'll no doubt see support for the new USB 3.0 standard. Likewise, enhancements to the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi stacks will be slipstreamed in, allowing Windows 7 to retain its mantle as the most easily configured version ever,' writes InfoWorld's Randall Kennedy. 'But perhaps the most significant "update" to come out of Service Pack 1 will be the fact that it exists at all, and that by delivering it to market Microsoft will be signaling that it is now OK for IT shops to pull the trigger on their Windows 7 deployments.'"

I kind of wish they'd work on Vista...

I know everybody's probably already binned Vista, but I'd be happy if Microsoft fixed the bug where my search indexing daemon crashes in Vista before they started on the Windows 7 bugs. I just got this computer from work, so it'll be another year minimum before I can justify trading it in for a Windows 7 box.

Still waiting...

There are still very large workplaces that have Windows 2000 as the OS for the majority of their machines, my very large workplace included. I personally still use XP at home. I've played with 7, looked over its specs, and what I'm still left wondering is - why would I bother with it?
