Microsoft today announced service packs for both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, but declined to set a release date or a schedule for getting a beta in users' hands. According to a company spokesman, Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) will primarily contain 'minor updates,' including patches and hotfixes that will have been delivered earlier via the Windows Update service, rather than new features. One of the latter: an updated Remote Desktop client designed to work with RemoteFX, the new remote-access platform set to debut in SP1 for Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2008 R2 will also be upgraded to SP1, Microsoft said, presumably at the same time as Windows 7 since the two operating systems share a single code base. Besides RemoteFX -- which Microsoft explained yesterday in an entry on the -- Server 2008 R2 will also include a feature dubbed 'Dynamic Memory,' which lets IT staff adjust guest virtual machines' memory on the fly.

Two weeks ago, a Web site that has regularly predicted release dates for Windows and its service packs said that had dumped plans for a 22-month development cycle for SP1, and instead might in the fourth quarter of this year.

At the time, Microsoft declined to talk about Windows 7 SP1, with a spokeswoman saying, 'We do not comment on rumors or speculation.' If Windows 7 SP1 follows the pace set three years ago by Vista SP1, the fourth quarter is a good bet. After much hemming and hawing, Microsoft admitted it would create SP1 for the then-new Vista in late July 2007, in August, seeded an invite-only group of testers with an early build in September, for public download in December 2007 and formally launched SP1 in mid-March 2008. From start to finish, the Vista SP1 process lasted just over eight months. [ ] That same timeline for Windows 7 SP1 would put its release in late November 2010.

But Windows 7 SP1 may be less important than previous first service packs if a recent survey of over 900 IT administrators is on the button. According to the poll, which was conducted in January by Dimensional Research, said they wouldn't wait for SP1 before deploying Windows 7. By tradition -- if little else -- many businesses postpone their migrations to a new Windows until that version's SP1 shows up.

'That may not sound like a lot, but for IT, it's a huge number,' said Diane Hagglund, the senior research analyst with Dimensional who authored the survey and the follow-up report.

“We will gather the community for a mass counter-protest and shut down that event.” The response to Yiannopoulos at Berkeley has been similarly caustic. One UC Berkeley group, named Berkeley Antifa, created a dedicated to disrupting and cancelling Milo’s event. The initiative, titled “No Fascists on Campus: Shut Down Milo at UC Berkeley,” urges students to contact school administrators and encourage them to cancel Yiannopoulos’ appearance. “Given the recent increase in fascist activity both on and around the UC Berkeley campus, we feel that the university's willingness to provide a platform to Milo Yiannopoulos and his views is unacceptable, and we intend to shut this event down,” the group explains in the event description.
