Update: Vista SP 1
You may have already
heard about this, but either way, I'm here to fill you in! Microsoft finally
dished out some news last week about the release of the Service
Pack 1 utility for the new Windows Vista operating
system. Microsoft has kept a tight lip on this information for awhile
now, but they finally fessed up! So, are you ready for the final news?
The Vista SP 1 will arrive to the public sometime during the first quarter
of next year (2008). Make sure you keep reading for all the important
details!
As it stands right
now, within the next few weeks, Microsoft is going to be releasing the
SP 1 to approximately 10,000 pre-selected testers who will then test the
utility to make sure it will be ready for the public when that time comes.
Side note: Those testers will also be testing the SP
3 for Windows XP that is also scheduled to be released in the near future.
Once all the testing is done, Microsoft will work their magic with the
finishing touches and it will finally be available to us!
Now, what's going
to be included with the SP 1, you ask? Well, it's mostly going to be a
compilation of tweaks and fixes that are geared toward improving the stability
and reliability of the Vista operating system. It's not going to be chocked
full with a lot of new features, but it will do what it's intended to
do and it will do it well. So, whether you've been a Vista user since
it began or you're going to be upgrading soon, the SP 1 will surely come
in handy for all of you. Plus, at least now you know what's up ahead and
you have something to look forward to. Yes!
