Microsoft is expected to deliver a initial beta of Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack (SP) 1 — and,Microsoft Office Standard 2007, by extension, Windows 7 SP1 — any time now. I wouldn;t be surprised to see the Softies announce and/or deliver that beta next week, in conjunction with all the company;s Tech Ed conference. Even though Microsoft has been advising IT admins not to wait for SP1 to move to Windows Server 2008 R2, a number of organizations nonetheless insist on waiting for SP1 before moving to a new version of Windows.Microsoft officials said earlier this year that Windows 7 SP1 would be a conglomeration of bug fixes and updates, and would not include any new features. About the server side, SP1 will include two new virtualiztion features, Microsoft officials have mentioned.These new features include a new graphics acceleration platform, known as RemoteFX,Genuine Office 2007, which is based on desktop-remoting technology that Microsoft obtained in 2008 when it acquired Calista Technologies. There also will be a new addition to Hyper-V that will dynamically adjust memory of a guest virtual machine on demand.
