Vista SP1 Coming In Q1 2008

Posted by kdawson on from the quicker-than-XP's dept.

Many readers sent in word of Microsoft's announcement of the schedule for Vista SP1. The Beskerming blog has a good summary. Up to 15,000 people will get access to a beta of SP1 by the end of September; general release is targeted (not promised in stone) for early 2008. The service pack is said to improve performance and stability, not to add features.

    Now how am I going to hold people off? My excuse has always been "not until SP1 comes out." I'm screwed.

    If the intention is to fix everything that's wrong with Vista, I'm impressed they got it all into only 1 GB.

    ...because now Microsoft KNOWS this fact and also has learned...

    Historical data suggests this is probably not so.

    I'm actually glad it was released early...

    Vista was released early? Now that's rich!
