Windows 7 will not see a second Service Pack. It's still unusual for Microsoft to stop after Service Pack 1 but over course of the last decade we have seen Service packs on the decline
Windows 2000 – Service Pack 4
Windows XP – Service Pack 3
Windows Vista – Service Pack 2
Windows 7 – Service Pack 1
It took three years for Microsoft to release an Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. Which was delayed might I add because of the blaster issue which affected so many people. As of last month, it's been three years since the release of Windows 7 in October 2009.
People familiar with the matter have hinted that Windows 8 could mark the end of service packs, as a similar strategy could be extended to all the other operating systems in Microsoft's product family. Service Packs are expensive and time consuming for Microsoft to develop and deploy.
