The latest update to Windows 7 known as “Windows 7 Service Pack 1” was released yesterday so some of you may be wondering what new and exciting things installing this will bring to your PC.

The truth is most people won’t notice any difference in how Windows 7 looks or operates after installing this update. Believe it or not, that’s actually good news! It means that Microsoft learnt from their mistakes with Vista and turned out a Windows update that was relatively problem-free, right from the start.

The new features are reserved for Windows Server 2008 which shares the same foundation as Windows 7.

However, it is still important to install this update from a security perspective. You want to keep your computers up-to-date to help ensure you are protected from “security holes” as much as possible.

And for those still clinging to Windows XP, unless you are completely attached to the almost nine year old system, the wait to upgrade is over.

The long run of Apple Mac users being able to look down on their Windows brethren struggling with spyware, viruses and other security exploits may, unfortunately, be coming to an end. As the popularity and market share of Apple’s OS X operating system has increased in recent years it has reached the “tipping point” at which the Internet’s scammers and other criminal elements see the potential in it as a target for their exploits.
