Willy2 0 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Woody Leonhard wrote an article with a VERY interesting headline "Signs point to Microsoft's imminent release of Windows 7 'Service Pack 3'" http://www.infoworld.com/article/3158858/microsoft-windows/signs-point-to-microsofts-imminent-release-of-windows-7-service-pack-3.html (from january 18, 2017. One month old). - Seems the folks at MS have read my comments on the MS blog. I posted a comment three times on their blog with the suggestion for a new SP. - I must say I am looking forward to that SP3 for my Win 7 system. (Or is it going to be SP2 ??). - Perhaps MS is also going to issue a new Service Pack for Win 8 ? Link to post Share on other sites
Moderators hazelnut 5 Posted February 22, 2017 Moderators Share Posted February 22, 2017 I don't believe that a SP3 for Win 7 will happen. Link to post Share on other sites
Moderators mta 0 Posted February 22, 2017 Moderators Share Posted February 22, 2017 I do like Woody's glass half full spin on it all. MS skips a couple of updates to Win7 and he sees it as "Woohoo, SP3 must be coming". Whereas I read that as "Well, they've finally given up on Win7 then". I don't see it ever happen, certainly not holding my breathe. Their complete and utter mess that was 'SP2' was the main reason I converted, and continue to upgrade, all Win7 machines to Win10.

Willy2 0 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 - Perhaps they want to avoid the "SP 2" mess again and issue SP 3 ? - My personal opinion is that issueing a new SP would avoid A LOT OF hassle, for A LOT OF people including MS itself. I also have written on this forum that a new SP would provide a clean stable foundation for those monthly roll up (security) updates MS started to issue in october 2016. - No, I am not holding my breath too. But I certainly would love to see a new Win 7 SP. But it seems MS was too busy fixing bugs in Win 10. Link to post Share on other sites

login123 0 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I don't believe that a SP3 for Win 7 will happen. I don't either. I think microsoft is just trying to hold the fort together until all the old OSs disappear. Link to post Share on other sites
