Windows 7 Not Getting A Second Service Pack

[wraggster]

Windows 7 was expected to have Service Pack 2 issued roughly 3 years from its introduction (late 2009). People, including myself, have been asking 'Where is it?' and the answer apparently is, 'It isn't, and will never be (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/10/24/no_windows_7_sp2/)' which lends itself to the giant pain of installing Windows 7, then Service Pack 1, and hundreds of smaller hotfix patches (http://news.softpedia.com/news/Microsoft-Cancels-Windows-7-Service-Pack-2-301719.shtml). Why Microsoft? No go to Service Pack 2 for Windows 7!"
