Could Microsoft be already working on Windows 7 SP1? According to Wzor, they’ve already compiled a few builds of SP1. This comes as quite a shocker since Microsoft has never begun work on a Service Pack for an operating system before its release. Generally, enterprises wait until the release of SP1 before deploying a Windows operating system. It’s likely that this move is to speed up Windows 7 integration.

Here are a couple of screenshots for you to indulge in:

Windows 7 Build 7138 x64 w/ SP1

Wzor also said that development has been branched off to a SP1 branch and these are the latest builds.
7139.0.winmain_win7ids_sp.090526-xxxx
7140.0.winmain_win7ids_sp.090527-xxxx
7141.0.winmain_win7ids_sp.090528-xxxx

Some may have the impression that Microsoft intends to release Windows 7 even though it isn’t as good as it should been. However, a more likely scenario would be that the foundation for SP1 is being laid out and all bug fixes that are not passed through to the RTM will be worked into SP1.
