Microsoft has released Service Pack 1 (SP1) packets dedicated for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 which contain security updates and minor feature improvements. It dedicates to help user keeping their PCs and servers on the latest support level. This Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 provides latest improvements on Windows OS (including previous updates delivered over Windows Update and incremental updates to the Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 platforms).

But, if you’re planning to install this update, I think you should read few notes on Windows Server 2008 R2/Windows 7 Service Pack 1 written by Krebs that may change your mind.

First, main part of this service pack is a bundle of previously-released security updates. If you are always update in security patches, you are not getting much benefit by installing this service pack.

Second, If you decide to go forward installing this Service Pack, there are several important considerations, particularly if your system has certain hotfixes installed (hotfixes are small patches designed to address specific — not necessarily security — issues). For example, Microsoft says that systems with hotfixes (2406705, 979350 or 983534) will block the installation of the service pack and may experience problems as a result.

Third, in Microsoft’s Technet forum, users are reporting some problems when installing this service pack. Also, the SANS Internet Storm Center is keeping a running tally of issues and conflicts that users have reported. For example, some users are reporting that certain types of third party firewalls and disk encryption software may be affected by the service pack. If you decide to proceed with this service pack, please consider having a look at these two resources.

But, if you still want to install it, go and download Windows Server 2008 R2/Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) from this download page .
