As has been the case with all service packs, whether in alpha or beta mode, a beta of the upcoming Windows 7 SP1 has been leaked on line, and is now circulating on torrent, P2P and warez sites.
Additionally, a beta of the Windows Server 2008 R2 has been leaked as well.
The SP1, as stated by Microsoft, will be mainly a rollup of already-released hotfixes.
Earlier in the month, Microsoft spokesperson Gavriella Schuster, said the Windows 7 Service Pack 1 official beta was set for a July launch.
She also explained the SP: "It will not contain any new features that are specific to Windows 7 itself. For Windows 7, SP1 will simply be the combination of updates already available through Windows Update and additional hotfixes based on feedback by our customers and partners. In other words, customers can feel confident about deploying Windows 7 now!"
Just yesterday, the software giant announced it was selling seven Windows 7 copies per second, with 150 million licenses sold in just 8 months.
