Microsoft Announces Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Packs Coming Later This Year

According to an article published in the Daily Tech, Microsoft announced that it was preparing to deliver Service Pack 1 for its new operating system, Windows 7, and its business-minded server operating system, Windows Server 2008 R2.

Among the highest profile updates expected for Windows 7 SP1 is the inclusion of USB 3.0 support.

For Windows Server 2008 R2, the big news is the inclusion of two important virtualization technologies: Dynamic Memory and Remote FX.  Dynamic Memory enhances Microsoft’s Hyper-V, allowing it to monitor the memory usage of all the virtual machines running on the host.  The Hyper-V pools all the physically available memory and then divvies it up as necessary.  This help to prevent memory shortages on busy virtual machines.
