Microsoft Releases Vista Service Pack 1
Finally the first Service Pack for Windows Vista has been released by Microsoft targeting the loopholes in the OS released previously, the SP1 for Vista will include several security fixes, patches to avoid incompatibility issues, performance upgrades which are long awaited by the users and hopefully this SP1 update will increase the Vista’s performance( i have seen it crawling even on above avg machine with 2 GB RAM).
Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) is an update to Windows Vista that addresses feedback from our customers. In addition to previously released updates, SP1 will contain changes focused on addressing specific reliability, performance, and compatibility issues; supporting new types of hardware; and adding support for several emerging standards. SP1 also will continue to make it easier for IT administrators to deploy and manage Windows Vista.
Standalone SP1 installers have been made available on the Microsoft download center from today onwards. Also users buying Vista in mid April will automatically get the latest SP1 inbuilt. Make sure you have read the instructions before downloading and updating your Vista with SP1.
I have not downloaded, waiting for CD version in April.
I can’t wait to see this in action. I myself hate Vista. I’ve upgraded to it and then had to reformat. I may however upgrade again if a lot of the stuff is fixed.
