28.02.2008Vista Service Pack 1: It lives
With all the
Microsoft-created confusion
out there around when — and
even whether — the company
plans to deliver the first
service pack (SP) for Windows
Vista, it’s nice to see some
concrete proof that Vista SP1
does exist.
The
http://www.winfuture.de/news,3
1801.html>WinFuture.de folks
managed to grab a quick
snapshot of a machine running
a build of Vista SP1 during
one of the Rally talks at the
Windows Hardware Engineering
Conference (WinHEC) in Los
Angeles this week. Plain as
day, it says: “Windows Build
6001 Service Pack 1, v113.”)
I also saw a
PowerPoint slide mentioning
the existence of Vista SP1
during a WinHEC chalk talk on
“The Future of Input” at
this week’s show. (The
context: A shim for the
kernel-mode driver foundation
version of the digitizer
driver will ship as a Windows
Driver Kit sample in Vista
SP1. That was it.)..

17.05.2007Microsoft: Public Build of Windows Vista SP1 RC Soon
According to the
Softpedia website, Microsoft is currently cooking the first public build of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Release
Candidate. Since the initial introduction of the first testing bits for the first service pack for Windows Vista in mid July, Microsoft has been
fending off and dodging in every way possible all references to the public availability of the refresh. In terms of the final release, the company has
pointed out the first quarter of 2008. And as far as a public version ahead of fully fledged service pack is concerned, Microsoft has failed breathing
a single word. When it comes down to the development milestones of Vista SP1, all things are quiet over at Microsoft.
But, the fact of the
matter is that a development milestone for Vista SP1 will be made public in the immediate future. Sooner than you might think in fact, and it will
involve the Release Candidate build of the service pack. "We'll broaden the testing pool of SP1 RC bits soon (very soon), so you'll be
able to put Windows Vista SP1 RC through its paces yourself. I think you'll find the experience worthwhile and satisfying," stated Nick
White, Product Manager at Microsoft with the Windows Vista launch team.

04.12.2007Microsoft confirms next XP
service pack
Microsoft has revealed
plans to release a third
service pack for its Windows
XP operating
system.
"
There will be a Service Pack 3
for Windows XP," Bernard
Ourghanlian, technical and
security director at Microsoft
France, confirmed, revealing
that Microsoft's OS is set
for another major
update.
Windows
XP's Service Pack 2, which
came out last September,
deeply modified the operating
system by updating its
security.
Windows
XP SP3 will be available
sometime next year--after the
launch of Windows Vista, which
"is the priority for the
development teams," according
to Microsoft
France.
Microsoft
has yet to reveal details
about the contents of the
service pack. Laurent
Delaporte of Microsoft France
said: "Historically, certain
functions of new versions of
Windows are integrated in the
service packs of previous
versions." ..

Microsoft has sent out an e-mail to testers announcing that the RC-Escrow build of Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 is
available for download. The company is letting testers grab it via Windows Update (available this Thursday in available languages of Vista and Server
2008), as a standalone installer package, or as a slipstreamed version in English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese. For those interested, the build
string is "6002.16659.090114-1728" and Microsoft claims the service pack includes 656 individual hotfixes.

12.10.2007Vista SP2 Released to Testers
Yesterday, Microsoft sent an email to select testers notifying them that the RC-Escrow Build of Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista and Server 2008 was
available for download.
This Service Pack was made available to testers via Windows Update, as a standalone installer, and as a
slipstreamed version. This service pack includes 656 hotfixes, and the usual tweaks.
At this "Escrow" stage in development, the Service
Pack is essentially complete; unless major errors are spotted, this version will likely be very close to that of the RTM version.
One
more public beta is expected before it RTMs however, so if you'd like to get your hands on one more beta build, your chance will come soon enough.
The only pre-requisite for the SP2 install is that you have SP1 installed; all other updates are included in SP2. Their reason for not
making a cumulative update with SP1 already included is because of the huge filesize that would result. Most clients already have SP1 installed; new
Windows Vista discs and Server 2008 was shipped with it included.
It would seem that, contrary to some recent rumors, SP2 will ship long
before June.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 Release Candidate 2 is available to the public. Specific registry settings will allow you to be offered SP3 via Windows

Download the script and run it on a machine currently running Windows XP Service Pack 2. The script sets a registry key
on your system. The registry key is required for Windows Update to recognize your machine as a valid target for Windows XP Service Pack 3 RC2.
Versions of Windows XP Service Pack 3 prior to Release Candidate 2 should be removed before attempting to use the registry key.
Windows Update will not offer Release Candidate 2 to machines with previous versions of the Windows XP Service Pack 3 beta.
It is
recommended that you apply the resulting update package to an activated, genuine copy of Windows XP, in a test environment. As with any pre-release

23.04.2008Microsoft: XP SP3 won't
arrive until '07
Aiming to keep its focus on
Windows Vista, Microsoft is
now targeting 2007 for its
next Windows XP service pack
update.
In a
posting to its life cycle Web
site, Microsoft set a
preliminary date of the second
half of next year for the
release of Windows XP Service
Pack 3 for both home and
professional editions. That
puts its debut well past the
arrival of Vista, which is
slated for the second half of
this year and later than both
outsiders and some insiders
had originally
predicted.
"We
will be releasing another
service pack for XP over the
course of the product life
cycle, and we are tentatively
targeting the second half of
2007 for release," a
Microsoft representative said
in an e-mail to CNET News.com.
"However, right now our
priority is Windows
Vista--we'll have more
information to share about the
next service pack for XP after
Windows Vista ships." ..

22.03.2009Microsoft: 5573 Does Not Imply a Specific XP SP3 Build
Marius Oiaga: Microsoft is not saying much at all about the third and final service pack for Windows XP, and whatever information does manage to get
through the translucent filters implemented by Steven Sinofsky, Senior Vice President, Windows and Windows Live Engineering Group,
presents little
relevance. A recent reference related to XP SP3 is Build 5573 from KB951126. Judging by the fact that XP SP 3 Release Candidate 2 Refresh 2 was Build
5508, speculation began circulating of a
new version
number 5573, that could even be the RTM build for the service pack. I contacted Microsoft on the matter, and this is not the case.
"The reference comes from 'A multiprocessor computer that is running Windows Vista or Windows XP stops responding on a black screen after
you resume the computer from hibernation' KB article 951126 available here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951126/. The file versions discussed on the Microsoft Help and Support page, referring to a
hotfix for Windows XP SP3, are accurate," a Microsoft spokesman revealed in an email to Softpedia.
