Even before it could be released to the OEM manufacturing partners of Microsoft who always get the code before the official release to start integration process, the final RTM version of Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (Service Pack 1) have been leaked in the wild and are now available all over the internet. The rumors were hinting at SP1 release on January 18th, however it appears both the Service Packs can be grabbed right now.

Microsoft has announced today that Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 have RTM’d.
