Windows In what is surely news that will blow your mind because of its unexpectedness, Microsoft has announced the upcoming releases of service pack 1 for both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. The company had nothing to say, yet, about release schedules or possible test releases.

Its really frustrating when the client side has a better hardware adn cannotuse it for displaying Aero. I hope it really is the answer. Will I be able to run a VM with windows xp with an copy of blender or another 3D App and then use it Via RDP! I hope so.

Wait a minute it seems it may just work.. So my first will be Battlefield 2 in RDP........Cool

Actually the most likely scenario is that you'll be able to use a computer running Windows 7 to RDP to a Windows 7 VM.

I guess this helps overcome the procrastination of all those people who won't consider a product until the service pack comes out.

Looking forward to hear how microsoft implement this for Hyper-V SP1. VMware do a good job of this, however i liked the performance of Hyper-V and the ability for my Windows 2008 R2 to perform other tasks aswell as the hyper-v.

Wouldn't be surprised if this coincides with the Dot Net 4.0 release.

*YAWN*

Wake me up when they get to Windows 8 Service Pack 2.

In other news: after the news of the upcoming Service Pack for Winblows 7 got out, Paul Thurrott immediately got a violent erection, and called up his contact at Microfart to ask for a pre-alpha release candidate beta build.
