Be advised that Microsoft will be issuing "Windows 7 Service Pack 1" in the near future. In order for this service pack and future items to install properly, Microsoft has already issued, through Windows Update, the following item "KB976902". You should check your already downloaded and installed Windows Updates for item "KB976902". If you have been updating through Windows Update as you should daily, you probably have this update already installed. If not, then you will have to run a Windows Update and see if it appears for installation. If not and you don't already have it, further information is available here.
Note that without this item already installed, Windows Update will NOT give you notification that Windows 7 Service Pack 1 is available for installation, and that this and future service packs will NOT install properly without it.
The actual date of the release to the public is still uncertain (perhaps as early as Tuesday, January 18 some have speculated) but if you wish to update to Windows 7 Service Pack 1, it is imperative that these preparations by made. If you already have KB976902 installed, then you can just sit back and wait for Windows Update to make "Service Pack 1" available to you.
You may wish to forward this advice on to other Windows 7 users that you know so they can be assured they are prepared also.
