Windows 7 SP1 'beta' leaks, hits torrents
« on: June 27, 2010, 21:34 »
A beta version of Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 has apparently leaked onto the torrent networks, if you're exceptionally brave and fancy installing a knock-off version of a major OS update.

sounds like a great idea to grab that torrent, not.

There's not much point in downloading an SP beta, as Windows Updates will only get it again, when it's released, won't it?

Given the choice, I'd rather slam my nuts in a car door than contaminate this system with an iffy download of a half-baked update.  But that's just me.
