Possible Last-Minute Problems With Vista SP2

Posted by kdawson on from the racing-windows-7-out-the-door dept.

crazyeyes writes "It looks like Microsoft is facing problems with Windows Vista SP2. The final Service Pack for Vista and Server 2008 (before Windows 7 comes out) has been delayed. The folks who broke the launch details and dates of previous Service Packs for XP and Vista have Microsoft's latest internal schedule. Can Microsoft get it out before Windows 7? According to the new schedule, just barely."

    Why do people keep referring to Win 7 as a service pack for Vista?

    They are being polite. Some of us refer to it as "the polished turd formerly known as Vista".
