Back on topic, I do believe this is the last "SP" for Windows 7. I believe that Microsoft will slowly and surely kill off the OS for regular end-users through not optimizing it via various things on enthusiast level type issues. Namely direct X, browsers, and various other file/security vectors. Companies that remain running the operating system will not be impacted for the most part.
