Windows Server 2008 196 Published by

Neowin.net posted a news story that Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 will finally be made available to download via the web on Tuesday Feb 22nd, following a release to MSDN TechNet customers on the 16th.



SP1 only contains two major new features, which will not affect the majority of users. The first of the two is RemoteFX, a standalone product that requires Windows Server 2008 R2 to be used. RemoteFX allows users to watch high-quality video and interact with 3D applications over a remote desktop session -- this will change the way Virtual Machines are used, as they have had limited display capabilities until now.
