Well, it's for Windows 7 and for Server 2008 R2.

"This early release of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Beta is not available for home users. The SP1 Beta does not provide new end-user features, and installation is not supported by Microsoft."

SP1 is going to give Hyper-V the option of oversubscribing memory for virtual machines, like some of VMWare's stuff can do.

Does this fix the backup in Win7?

Does this fix the backup in Win7?

According to MS' announcement today:

"For Windows 7, SP1 is simply a combination of updates already available through Windows Update and additional hotfixes based on feedback by our customers and partners."

That sounds like a "No". If the fix hasn't already been offered as an Update or a Hotfix, then it sounds like it's not in the Win7 side of SP1.

The SP1 Beta does not provide new end-user features

Now if they would only keep it that way...
