Windows 7 SP1 info, release date reported

Despite generating a good vibe around the world, Windows 7 is still facing the resilience of certain sectors (businesses) of upgrading to a new operating system before it received a significant update, like a Service Pack. Due to this situation Microsoft has been working hard on bringing the first SP for Windows 7 to market as soon as possible, and according to one report that means September (2010). This is pretty much in line with previous rumors that claimed Microsoft is targeting an autumn 2010 release for Win 7 SP1.

The upcoming pack will contain all updates delivered by Microsoft until its RTM date and is expected to bring WiFi and Bluetooth updates, as well as USB 3.0 support. Other minor enhancements are expected too but overall, Service Pack 1 shouldn't be a very flashy release. A welcomed one, but nothing game-changing.
