For those interested, Windows 7 Service Pack 1 has been released to Technet and the Microsoft Developers Network (MSDN): http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...8WS.10%29.aspx

The consumer release of Windows 7 SP1 is expected shortly.

The corresponding update to Windows Vista, Service Pack 3, is still missing in action. It has been rumored that due to the reputation and reception of Vista, as well as Microsoft's desperate attempt to convince consumers that Vista and Windows 7 are not the same operating system, that there won't be an official service pack 3 release.

It has been suggested Microsoft will retain the method used to synch Vista with DirectX 11 and other core updates and release the changes as a Platform Update.

Considering how vilified Vista was and how well received 7 is, I don't think consumers need any convincing.
