IS it safe to install Windows 7 Service pack 1?

http://www.avinashtech.com/microsoft/wi ... al-leaked/

I wonder if I should wait for the official release or not. I am bothered with questions like will I still get updates or can this service pack have negative effects due to it being not official?

Why using the leaked version when you can actually use the original Release Candidate by Microsoft?

Assuming it's a release candidate I don't think it's that unstable...
I have it installed and as far as I can tell I didn't noticed any perfomance decreasing. I think it's worth the risk.

By the way, I would recommend you to download it through the WUSignUpTool method as the other ones may be broken or outdated.

Pointless. While Microsoft did confirm the build number of the leak; SP1 does not include any major features for Windows 7 and I wouldn't place my bets on the WZOR leak to be the actual final bits.

Release roadmap:

2/9/2011 - OEM/TAP release
2/16/2011 - MSDN/TechNet release
2/22/2011 - RTW

Don't install the RC now, as it has to be uninstalled before the final RTM is install, and since SP1 is on Windows Update in 11 days, it's pointless.

The only new feature was I believe RemoteFX, but I don't think anyone will use it.

I have been thinking of using Server 2008 R2 as a workstation. They say if you tweak it here and there that it can be faster than Windows 7. However due to compatability reasons I am still running the Workstation in a Virtual Machine for testing.

RemoteFX is not a feature of Windows 7. It is Server 2008 R2-exclusive. It is now only client side supported, too. Also, this is not quite true, there are quite some smaller tweaks, for a little more detail, consult the release notes of the RC. Plus - also for HyperV - there is now support for dynamic memory which allows a much higher VDI density, estimates go up to 40%. Still, not as if that would be any interesting for you if you don't know what that means.


'They' say? Believe me, that's non-sense. Server 2008 R2 is not any faster than Windows 7. There are a few reasons why you might want Server 2008 R2 as for Workstation usage, but if you don't know of them, you don't need them either. It's mainly for HyperV anyways.

I would recommend you Windows 7, since Server 2008 R2 requires some tweaking for workstation usage, is more expensive (as for cracks, you can only crack up to the standard version, anything above that is not licensable per OEM, thus all kinds of Windows loaders and similar jackshit do not work. Only way is a cracked KMS), and delivers no advantage. On the contrary, some features which are handy on a workstation - ie the games integration or WinEI - are unavailable. Furthermore, H.264 is not licensed with the system, raw sockets are available (which is not a good thing on a client platform), and so on.

Don't use it if you don't need any specific feature it delivers.

Turns out that WZORs leak was indeed the final RTM. So you can get that if you like - or wait 6 more days.
