Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 7 SP1 for manufacturers has landed into the wild just like the previous builds 7601.16537, 7601.16543 and 7601.16562.In a blog posting on Thursday, Microsoft’s Russian Windows Virtualization team confirmed that the final build of Windows 7 SP1 is 7601.17514.win7sp1_rtm.101119-1850.
The software giant posted a software update on Tuesday that applies to versions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. The update (KB976902) is a prerequisite necessary to successfully install and to remove any service packs to all versions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
Microsoft fueled speculation of a January release of SP1 when it released a Service Pack Blocker Tool in November. The software maker typically releases Service Pack Blocker Tool Kits around two months before service packs are released. The software giant published a Release Candidate build of Windows 7 in October, marking its final push to RTM.
SP1 will include RemoteFX which provides rich 3-D graphical experience for remote users. The service pack also will include a series of incremental updates, previously released on Windows Update for both Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
Available in both 32 and 64 bit, the hashes for the leaked build are as follows:
