What is earth shattering about Service Pack 1 for Windows 7?
There is nothing earth shattering new with Windows 7 SP1 that would have an impact on your Calgary business. Windows 7 SP1 is primarily a bug-fix update that brings together all the patches and updates released so far.
There are a number of behind the scenes technical updates, such as RemoteFX and Dynamic Memory which are two new virtualization features enabled in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. The Windows 7 SP1 update enhances the virtualization experience of Remote Desktop and performance enhancements while working in a virtual environment.
Many of the leading Calgary IT support firms have had the luxury of testing Windows 7 SP1 through their membership in the Microsoft Partner Program. From what many have reported, there are no user interface changes, no real performance boosts and no other cool stuff to talk about.
The Calgary tech firms who offer server virtualization services have told me that they are interestedin the enhancements to the virtualization platforms. These updates can help reduce the system load and increase performance for their clients running virtual servers.
This is pretty good news for businesses leveraging Microsoft Hyper-V and other virtualization services.
