But these are rumors, Microsoft has not officially announced any such news. These Windows iterations are supposed to replace Service Packs for Windows OS. Instead the company will follow faster Windows iterations process such as Windows 8.1, 8.2 and so on. There were rumors that Microsoft has decided to discontinue service packs for Windows OS. Actually there are 100+ new updates and hotfixes which have been released after Service Pack 1 and if a user installs fresh Windows 7 with SP1 in a computer system, he’ll need to waste a lot of Internet connection bandwidth to download and install all these 100+ post SP1 updates.

Since then all Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 users are waiting for Service Pack 2 (SP2).

It’s been more than 2 years since Microsoft released Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
