And oh btw, when I used to look for Windows 7 SP1 before, I used to get directed to the RC page.. but now it directs here:

In fact filechecksuming should be the security standard. -
But it seems the RTM version to me, am I wrong? -
The difference is just the wave of release.
Basically they do it in this order
-> Manufacturer -> Technet Members -> Public
But the file is the same.

Use Microsoft fciv tool to calculate file checksum or any of your favourite checksumming software -

I think that'll be the link later on but it wont let me go there now -
Download it from softpedia and do a checksum.
-
Just finished downloading it off Microsoft Downloads site, which was pretty much the link Shotta35 posted ...took me only a min to download.
Good guess... I tried it an hour ago, but it was locked with a login prompt.
-
So MS only made a 2gb all in one iso available?
I think I will wait for it to come through windows update. -
Checking to see if those are the RC first - oops
-
The download just went live on Microsoft's download center.
-
On Windows Update now too so everyone can enjoy!
-
Using windows update on a fully updated x64 system the SP1 download was only 83.7mb
This really is only collection of past updates plus a little extra. -
Same as wave above, ~85MB download size and took around 7 minutes to install on an up-to-date OS.
-
Ahbeyvuhgehduh Lost in contemplation....
-
Just did the update through Windows Update on one of our machines and I noticed a nice feature that I don't recall seeing in previous service packs; the ability to delete Service Pack backup files through Disk Cleanup.
(note: you have to select "Clean up system files", not through the regular Disk Cleanup)

Does anyone have a link (legit) of Windows 7 with SP1 slipstreamed/already integrated into the .iso?
-
61.8 MB here - 4 updates (3 important, 1 optional) - and Service Pack was one of the 3... the size before starting the update was listed as 44 MB to 531 MB... and when I started the windows update, I see the total size of 61.8 MB. -

Anyone getting a Code 80073712 ERROR when trying to install SP1?
-
Maybe they pulled it back?Or it was never published....
-
..........or the download server that is servicing your region hasn't been updated yet.
-
For some reason, actually, in my case I had like important and optional updates and when I went to see what they were, there was the service pack update which for some reason was unchecked!!
Then I checked the box and went ahead! -

I'm getting a Service pack installation cannot continue error due to one or more system components that the service pack requires are missing.
I haven't touched Windows 7 anything since I installed it. Looks like it somehow has auto-corrupted itself. -
Odd that some people report 7m installation time. I went for the 2gb .iso file and it took me around 50mins. Keep in mind I pretty much had all the available updates from windows updates already installed.
-
I updated my x64 win 7 pro to sp1 via windows update. The download was ~ 80 Mb (it included a couple older updates in addition to sp1). However, after installation I have 2 Gb less space on my hd. I tried disk clean up but it said there were 0 bytes of "service pack backups". Does anyone have any idea whats going on?
-
If so you're mostly screwed as Driver Sweeper was deleting some required files. -

used space (before and after): 17.9GB ------> 19.6GB
- service pack backups also showed '0 bytes'.
- And my boot time went from 30 seconds to 53. Maybe it will take time for Windows to optimize itself. -
i never use them now
years n years ago you needed them because the driver install programs were badly written
these days there not -

Strange as it may sound, installing SP1 on my HP Envy 14 with an Intel X25-M SSD freed up a grand total of 4 GBs of space. I was/am shocked. Very pleased of course, but shocked.
I have my hunches as to why, but still, any insight into why there are such varied amounts of space usage post-update would be much appreciated! -
... prolly you have 6 GB worth of temp files. If you remove that and add in the extra 2GB from sp1; then it would make it seem that you lost 4 GB...
.. I may be wrong. In my case; I cleaned everything first (used ccleaner) before updating and took note of my used space. -
In general I'm curious as to why, if in fact installing SP1 flattens (or consolidates, trims, whatever the correct term is) earlier patches, multiple computers which I assume were all up-to-date otherwise prior to SP1 would have significantly different results in the amount of drive space added or removed.
Just a thought, I haven't read through exactly what SP1 entails, but does it include software updates for Microsoft programs other than core Windows 7 files? If so, I suppose there would be some significant variance if it flattened the updates on a computer with a bunch of extra Microsoft stuff on it but did not do so on another computer simply because the applicable software wasn't even present. -
When I downloaded RC, it was 800MB. The disk cleanup backup file was 800MB. Upon opening Add/Remove Programs, to uninstall RC, I had a very small list of updates that showed as being installed. The Service Pack REPLACED all of the updates. When I uninstalled the RC version (time consuming, even for SSD), all of the individual updates were then listed again and my OS was put in the position it was in as before SP1 - RC was installed.
Perhaps I showed no significant shift in disk space because I was up to date on my updates? But... there has hardly been 2GB worth of updates.
I cannot see the connection of how having the Release Candidate had any impact on disk space, especially when it was only 800MB, and its removal was a prerequisite for the formal SP1 installation. -
And so the conspiracy continues on....
... honestly you all give valid points. A couple of users lost 2GB, others didn't... and although I'm over caring with my installations, it wont kill me if I don't get an answer right away. -

for reducing the used space. Worked perfectly for me. -

After installing the 2gb iso i had around 960mb to clean through disk cleanup, after that the used space was pretty much as it was pre sp1. Note that before installing sp1 the installer creates a backup (incase something goes wrong) thats one of the reasons why you might loose a few hundred megabytes after the installation.
-
Could it be that those who can delete files with cleanup have once done a clean install, while others have a OEM preinstall?
The cleanup tool recognizes the backup as non MS standard and leaves them. Just guessing.
