GMT+08:00 Yesterday, Microsoft has released a link in its download center that contains documentation for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1; today, Microsoft TechNet announced the Service Pack 1 Beta  evaluation center, This link contains guides for deploying Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Beta, as well as release notes, break changes and evaluation download registration links.

Currently I am installing the Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 x64, Service Pack 1 brings two important new features that are known as RemoteFX and Dynamic Memory. RemoteFX enhances virtualized desktop environment user experience, which enables hardware graphics acceleration to the Remote Desktop Services (RDS), it is therefore possible to run an Aero-based user interface under a remote desktop connection window; Dynamic Memory is a memory allocation mechanism that applied to the Hyper-V, it allocates host operating system’s memory on-demand. Differed from previous fixed memory size allocation, it makes the usage of memory more efficiently.

Here is a screenshot of the installation process (Restart Required) via Windows Update.

I will blog more about RemoteFX once I complete installation and virtual desktops set up.
