Windows Vista SP1

Zazula · 09-05-2007, 08:50 PM

This is the Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Beta Overview; a white paper which presents an overview of Windows Vista SP1 and the improvements it contains.

The first thing to note is that Windows update is taking care of important incremental fixes and, while SP1 delivers enhancements to compatibility and reliability, it will not contain new features. It is built and tested to enable smooth transitions for applications from Windows Vista RTM to Windows Vista SP1.

If you want more information on the latest Windows Updates, here are two Knowledge Base articles that address reliability and compatibility (KB 938194 and KB 938979):
An update is available that improves the compatibility and reliability of Windows Vista
An update is available that improves the performance and reliability of Windows Vista

I am only just ahead of you. To my knowledge Microsoft issue hotfixes to fix pressing problems. As they learn what they are, they accumulate improvements which are tested and then issued as a Service Pack i.e SP, first being SP1. During the testing phase a preliminary version (Beta) is issued so the enthusiasts out there can cut there teeth on it and point out errors before the final version is issued to you and me.

I should have added - "Don't rush to install SP1 when it appears. Wait until the word on the street is that it doesn't contain anything to cause new problems".

Well...

I did test it and everthing's faster, I made a ghost image non SP1 and I am trying SP1 now, no errors everything works ok, installed perfect with no surprises just take long, and 3 reboots till finished...

Regards
