Anyone know when service pack 2 for Windows 7 will be released? Our deployment images are getting pretty fat with all the windows updates.

I suggest you to follow the Windows Team Blog (http://windowsteamblog.com/) to stay up-to-date with all the Windows related news. Bye.Luigi Bruno - Microsoft Community Contributor 2011 Award

No, seriously, when will a Service Pack 2 be released? Its a pain to install Windows 7 in new PCs, the update process is getting lengthier and lengthier every time. The blog you suggested is Windows 8 centric at this moment and I don't want to get news about Windows 8 when I only care about when a Service Pack 2 of Windows 7 will get released.

That blog is the Windows Team Blog, where you can find informations about Windows 7 too by means of tag filtering: you can go to http://windowsteamblog.com/tags/windows+7/default.aspx to see the posts filtered for such topic. Another web site you could refer is the Windows 7 web site (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/home): when a Service Pack for Windows 7 is released, you can surely find it there.

I would suspect that SP2 will be going into Beta as soon as Win8 goes RTM - but don't hold your breath! Noel Paton | Nil Carborundum Illegitemi | CrashFixPC | The Three-toed Sloth

Service Pack 2 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 will be released in the first half of 2013. If all goes well for Windows team, a Service Pack 2 Beta should be out in 4th quarter of this year.
