Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1) RTM Coming in First Quarter of 2011

Microsoft has announced some important information about the general availability of SP1 for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2.
At Windows Team Blog, Rich Reynolds posted:

Last week, we announced the Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Release Candidate availability, with the final version available in first quarter of calendar year 2011. SP1 will include new virtualization features to Windows Server 2008 R2 (RemoteFX, Dynamic Memory) to provide a richer virtual desktop experience, while helping keeping TCO under control. And while Windows 7 customers will benefit from these enhancements, the Windows 7 SP1 will simply be a roll up of security updates. As we’ve said before, Windows 7 is ready now, so customers should not wait for SP1 to deploy!

So it means SP1 RTM will be available no later than March 2011.
