Microsoft to release Windows Vista Service Pack 1 on Monday?
section: windows, for your questions: KezNews forum, 3.2.2008
Microsoft has scheduled Windows Vista Service Pack 1 for release to manufacturer (RTM) on Monday, February 4, 2008.
That's just 3 days away! The OEMs will also receive Windows Vista Service Pack 1 during that week.
Microsoft will be deploying Service Pack 1 in two "waves". Wave 0, which is the one released on February 4, will only include five languages - English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese. The second wave, Wave 1, is scheduled for release 1-2 weeks later, and will cover all 36 basic languages, including Chinese.
On January 29, a Microsoft spokeswoman said Vista SP1 had yet to be officially released to manufacturing. The recent SP1 Release Candidate (RC) Refresh 2 is not the RTM build, the spokeswoman said. “And we’re not commenting on the build number,” she said, when I asked whether the “18000? build number was the RTM version.
The latest buzz is that Microsoft will announce that Vista SP1 has RTM’ed on Monday February 4, according to the Tech ARP site. Even if SP1 doesn’t hit on February 4, its release is imminent, sources agree.
Vista SP1 will deliver in one package the various security, performance and reliability fixes Microsoft has been making to Vista for the past year-plus. SP1 also will include a few new minor features, including a less strident Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) piracy check and a tweak in the way Vista works with and displays third-party search engines.

do you really believe we'll have sp1 in less than 24h from now?
it is in february when they will release the sp1.
ffs!!! : }
whens xp sp3 coming?
pure hoax!
vista begs for a hundred fixes. if they fix 49, we will beg for another another years.
stop begging and just say no to vista. better just say that vista blows wind.
you can't fix a broken record. microsoft, stop repeating yourself. every release
candidate so far has failed to fix the major issues with vista. no more lies please. stop
the marketing music and let me off this one track disaster.
i remember when people were bagging xp and saying they were going to stick with
win98se... those same people are now the ones using xp and bagging vista :)
i went to xp same month it was released and never came back to win98se. but i am not
using vista yet, mainly due to performance reasons - my pc is 4 years old and not worth
the upgrade. when i get new pc, it will have vista, no doubt.
does that mean our vista cracks will die :(
?
well, vista is great in combination with a dual core processor and enough ram. currently
i'm using the sp1 refresh2 on a ultimate version that is pre-modified. i read on the
website of microsoft this is not possible anymore after sp1. so i hope these crackboys
come up with something fast :)
oh and btw, i use vista every day, never have
any problems with it, i don't know what you guys are talking about but i sure am curious.
no problems at all with vista
where is it?!!??
there is no sp1 rtm.
does that mean if i install sp1 the vista activation crack won´t work any more??
every current crack won't work. bte, look at the time in redmond - it's 3am. who's
releasing sp's at 3am in the morning?!
i would have agreed with the last few posts above about vista being an ok os with no
problems as it is if you have the right hardware/software combo!
but i don't
and have found out lately that most of my problems have been with the nvidia graphics card
7900gto
as for the sp1 out today? will we be able to download it from somewhere
?
paul
i like to play with little cats.
i'm sure most men play with a pussy sometime in their lives and a lot of women do too
it's nothing to be ashamed of
do you like soup?
?????????????
why are you all so against vista and talking about what it hasn't fixed? i use it daily
and have never noticed a problem since the i installed the release candidates. and i do
much more than just word processing. i am a programmer and i also play games.
this is actually "vista sp1 rc refresh 2"...
http://www.news.com/8301-13860_3-9863959-56.html
headlines "vista sp1,
windows server 2008 finalized"
no mentioned of exact date but released to
manufacturing
but where is the download?!?!?!?
as soon as someone gets a download link for the rtm sp1 which is out as of today can you
please post here thanks.
m$ realeased sp 1 in feb 4 to manufacturing, but not yet to consumers. according to what
i have read on the net, sp 1 will not be available for donwload until mid march to
beginning of april. the sp already went gold, but they will not release it until at least
six more weeks.
mid march until beginnig of april
if it is rtm i'll give it 24 hours before

we all know that microsoft has more leaks the britain's water
pipes

thanks piratebay!
is that last link to the torrent just sp1 or a entire vista image with sp1?
sp1 only
sp1 only with the size of 2.87gb? lol
anyone installed it yet who can tell for sure?
it's not a release from ms it's sp1 16386 modded to 18000.
why do you think that?

the new statement, as of today:
“rc refresh 2 code is the same as rtm. in final stages of a product microsoft
likes to get as much validation as possible before releasing. the release candidate ended
up being a high enough quality to be approved to release to manufacturing.”
