All about Microsoft posted a news story that Microsoft sends invitations to testers for Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1



The company has begun sending invitations to those it plans to include in the testing program. According to the invitations, the beta bits will be in English, German, Japanese, French and Spanish.

At Microsoft’s TechEd conference last week, officials said to expect the beta of SP1 in July. (I’m hearing it will be delivered in mid-July, the same time Microsoft holds its Worldwide Partner Conference in Washington, DC.) The rumored final release data for SP1 (not confirmed by Microsoft officially) is Q4 2010.
