Coming to the first PC to install Windows 7 SP1

Lenovo laptops and desktops that install Windows 7 SP1 will be available in early April. HP also plans to ship PCs for business soon after. These will be the first products to install Windows 7 SP1 on the market.

HP spokesman said the company will also launch consumer PC computers to install the new version of Windows 7, around mid-June this year. Meanwhile, Dell computer maker remained silent before the information.

PCs with few Windows 7 SP1 operating systems will include patches and bug fixes for the version that Microsoft released in October 2009. Users may have to spend a lot of time installing these patches and upgrading to SP1. Currently this version is available for users to download from mid-February 2011.

Dell's Michael CEO previously said that updating to SP1 could also reduce the stress related to patching up new business customers' PCs. PC computers equipped with Sandy Bridge processors from Intel and Windows 7 SP1 can speed up customers' PC refresh cycles.

While a professional PC maker - Falcon Northwest is ready to ship PCs with Windows SP 1, but companies often perform manual patching for PCs before putting them on the market. According to CEO Kelt Reeves of Falcon Northwest, this patching process may take several hours.

Currently, manufacturers have not yet received Windows 7 SP1 and it is unclear when Microsoft will start exporting to PC makers. Reeves said a problem in SP1 relates to waking the computer after a sleep state. Therefore, Microsoft needs to address this issue soon.

However, Microsoft has yet to respond to information when it will release Windows 7 SP1 to PC makers.
