SP1 for Windows Server 2008 R2 Requires Lots of New Hardware	Permalink

Reporter's Notebook: Expected in July, the first beta of Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 delivers needed enhancements for VDI customers, although implementation requires a significant hardware refresh in the data center and possibly also at the edge. At TechEd, held June 7 to 10 in New Orleans, Microsoft unveiled the technical details and timing of the first service packs expected for the Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 operating systems, which could be of particular importance to companies investigating the use of VDI, or virtual desktop infrastructure. During his keynote, Bob Muglia, president of Microsoft's Server and Tools Business, announced the timing—the first beta will be delivered by the end of July—while the technical details were expounded in a series of breakout sessions over the course of the conference. As has often been the case in the last several years, the service packs for the latest versions of Microsoft's client and server are contained in the same download package (for 64-bit, at least, as there are no 32-bit 2008 R2 editions). But while Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 won't contain much in the way of new features, instead rolling up those patches and fixes already delivered via Windows Update along with an updated Remote Desktop client, SP1 for Windows Server 2008 R2 will have a couple of significant enhancements.
