it won't install, because it will see that it is sp1 and it won't match the version it will allow installation to this is why december's and january's GDR updates (the ones from windows update) won't install if you are running sp1
i gave my friend sp1 and his WAT crack filed to work, so there must be something wat included, anyway i turned him over to the loader side
good. It still apalls me how so many still insist on using some sort of crack when the easiest, most problem free method is with a loader
After I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit with SP1 integrated Atheros AR5006EG no more work. Driver show that there is no problem but no WIFI networks seen. Need new iso images.
Microsoft usually likes to release on a Tuesday. But traditionally, they don't release service packs on Patch Tuesday or on the Tuesday before Patch Tuesday. So it is highly unlikely that they will release it on Feb. 8 (PT). Service packs are normally released on a Tuesday, 1-3 weeks after a PT. So *if* this is going to be a February release, then it will either be on Feb. 15 or Feb. 22. March 1 is one week before the March PT, so I don't think March 1 or 8 will be likely. A March release will most likely be on March 15, 22, or 29. April will be past the "Q1" promise that Microsoft made. So, take your pick: Feb 15, 22, March 15, 22, or 29. For reference, the four most recent consumer service packs were SP2 for Vista (3rd Tuesday after a PT), SP3 for XP (2nd Tuesday after a PT), SP1 for Vista (1st Tuesday after a PT), and SP2 for XP (2nd Tuesday after a PT).
Sounds like Microsoft suffering from obsessions, like the world would end if they released it on a wednesday and GOD forbid they released it on a thursday, that's worse then a death sin. Well as long as they at least release it, that's more then enough.
"Obsession" implies that there is no merit to this pattern and that it is just Microsoft's whimsy. And that would be incorrect. The Tuesday consistency is mainly for the benefit of large enterprises with thousands of computers to manage. In a world where an IT administrator needs to first test out and evaluate new updates to the OS (e.g., make sure there are no compat. problems), deploy updates, and be ready to respond to any problems that may occur as a result, it makes sense to make sure that these updates arrive at predictable times. That's the whole point of Patch Tuesday: so that there is consistency and predictability, so that people know when the important updates are coming, so that IT departments can plan ahead, set aside the time needed to deal with the updates, etc. (and it also saves them the hassle of checking every day). For non-critical updates (until support for the previous SP is discontinued, a SP is really optional and thus non-critical), Tuesday still makes sense, since Mondays are usually hectic due to people taking care of issues that may have happened over the weekend, and Tuesday still gives IT departments most of the week to evaluate, deploy, respond to issues, etc. And again, having the non-critical updates happen on the Tuesday increases predictability and consistency, which are valued by Microsoft's "enterprise customers" (to use the wording from that world). For average users like us, this doesn't matter much (though personally, I like this predictability), but we aren't the only people that Microsoft caters to. And Microsoft does deviate from this when necessary. For the most part, their consumer products don't follow these sorts of schedules. And when there are security issues critical enough that waiting for a PT is too dangerous, they will do out-of-band releases, which can happen on non-Tuesdays.
That's great to hear, I was starting to get worried. Releasing stuff only on tuesdays sounded a little bit weird.
Maybe MS has windows update ready now for sp1 systems, this could mean sp1 is for next tuesday (feb 15).
