Microsoft to Release SP1 for Vista

Microsoft said it expects the changes to be implemented in its first service pack for Vista, putting to rest speculation among Microsoft watchers that the company would do away with its practice of catchall software upgrades. The software maker plans to release an early version of Service Pack 1 by the end of the year.

You can find the story in AP technology section.

 

What strikes me is that they will launch SP1 in the same year with Vista's release. They mush patch a lot of things, it seems.

 

I guess Vista was not as good as Microsoft claimed it was.

 

I wasnt going to even test install it until it was at SP1. think I will wait unitl SP2 now, which wont be long after SP1 by the looks of things

 

Don't wait for Vista SP1, pleads Microsoft
Microsoft has launched a "fact rich" program to help customers understand why they should "proceed with confidence" in rolling out Vista across all their PCs. "Some customers may be waiting to adopt Windows Vista because they've heard rumors about device or application compatibility issues, or because they think they should wait for a service pack release," the company said in a newsletter.

Microsoft does not get it. People have heard Microsoft say how great there product is only to be disappointed by it. You can not hype a program and then not deliver.

 

It seems everyone is waiting for at least sp1 before they start to buy Vista.

 

windows it weak with there services packs they should just get macs!

 

Microsoft's marketing Team is great they have found that everybody is waiting for a service pack before trying Vista so they come up with a service pack.I'll not even try it before sp2

 

I love Vista i am using it right now i dont have any problems with it its great, cant wait for SP1.

 

Or anything else but windows...

 

I thought Vista will not have any SP like XP because Vista got some kind of technology that auto update by itself... Err.. or maybe I'm dead wrong..

 

As always, microsoft sets to disappoint.

 

Yes, but I suspect it might have something to do with Google's antitrust complaints around vista's desktop search.

 

You are right but as always Microsoft changed there mind. Now Vista will have SP's.

 

They publish early SP. Interesting.

 

already? thats pretty soon isnt it?

 

Not if people are not buying Vista because there waiting for SP1. To many people complaining about hardware and software incompatibilities. They kill to birds with one shot.

 

SP1 is bad. i can post SP2 home edition and professional window xp. If you guys need for free. just download it and thats it.

 

Where talking about Vista not XP.

 

I think we are going to have to wait 5+ years for vista to be good.

Xp was the same way when it came out, now its pretty good with all the updates.

Imagine Xp with only 20 updates? Currently I have 107 Updates for xp.
