Chicago (IL) - Microsoft has officially announced Windows 7 Beta will be receiving five planned "test updates" beginning on February 24. The updates will not deliver anything new, but are designed "to help ensure that when we need to release real updates, the process will run smoothly," according to a Microsoft Update Team blog. In addition, Vista SP2 is nearly complete, expected in March.
The company has reportedly worked very hard on Windows 7 Beta, making changes to many different items, including more than a few security fixes.
The new operating system has been described by many, including several regular TG Daily readers, as a drastic improvement over Vista. Windows 7 includes new features such as BranchCache file caching and DirectAccess VPN-replacement technology which the company hopes to utilize to attract the attention and patronage of enterprise users.
Even with the official announcement of Microsoft's Windows 7 Beta, many websites are still touting the release of Microsoft Vista Service Pack 2, and Windows Server 2008.
Vista SP2
In late October, the beta version of Vista Service Pack 2 was released to the testing community, and the beta was then released to the public in early December. In late January reports surfaced that Microsoft would not be issuing a release candidate of the updated service pack until March. A week later, however, the updated service pack was released to a select group of testers. It has now been reported that Microsoft's large test pool has received the almost final version of the service pack.
Since the "almost final" version of Vista Service Pack 2 has been released to the Microsoft testing community, it appears Microsoft is on schedule for a March release of the final updated service pack to the public.
Vista Service Pack 2 was designed mainly for the improvement of performance. The update offers new contents such as a Service Pack clean up tool capable of recovering hard disk space utilized by previous Vista updates and 691 hotfixes.
Consumers will also be happy to find the new Service Pack 2 equipped with:
1) Improved content protection for television programs recorded utilizing Windows Media Center
2) Bluetooth 2.1 to support emerging Bluetooth technology
3) The ability to record onto Blu-Ray media via Vista directly
4) WiFi configuration simplified
5) Improvements to DirectX multimedia, boasting better graphics for gamers
6) Greater streaming capabilities
7) Support for new 64-bit CPUs from VIA technologies
8) Improved file syncing across different time zones
9) Improved Windows Search, version 4.0 which offers quicker searching and more relevant results
