Windows 7 SP1 is actually happening!
Earlier this week, we reported that testers can expect to get hands on the first service pack for Windows 7 this summer, with the final release happening in fall.
Such reports came from word that the big SP1 is already undergoing preliminary testing, and it seems that someone's already taken and posted screenshots of the install process.
Spanish Windows site Muy Windows (translated) has the screenshots of the Windows 7 SP1 install process.


There haven't been much word on what major changes, if any, to expect other than the inclusion of all patches and fixes released to date and the likely inclusion of USB 3.0 support.

I would like to know what it does.. but not really what it looks like.
the quick service pack release is probably due to their need to get businesses to adopt win 7 since most wait till the first service pack to make the jump it makes sense to pump out the SP fast. Also this will signal the end for XP since one of the conditions of discontinuation have been met which is the first SP of Win 7. So this SP is more a adoption tool than a problem fix.

What, there was a chance of this not happening?
nail on the head. This is most likely a fake. And really, screen grabs from a service pack install? How more stupid fanboy-ish can you get?
If it's not a sensationalist story that doesn't have much to do with PC hardware, it's remarkably bland ones that have been ripped from other news outlets.
I guess I should just be thankful that the weekend joke articles are gone.
