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.

Microsoft claims Windows Vista SP1 will provide key improvements on the security, performance and reliability of Windows Vista by providing :

• All previously released updates since RTM
• Performance and reliability improvements in core scenarios such as file copy, network browsing, and improved response time to resume from sleep.
• Support for new types of hardware, and several emerging standards.
• There are improvements to the administration experience. One of the most important changes we’re making is that BitLocker now supports encrypting for multiple volumes.

Of course, Service Pack 1 will also disable two common methods of hacking Windows Vista, namely the OEM BIOS exploit and the Grace Timer exploit.

ior just downgrade to XP altogether. lol

It's not out just yet, I don't think. Well, I couldn't find it on the Microsoft site, and that'd probably be the first place it'll arrive.

This is just putting a band-aid on the wound when an organ transplant is needed.

Luckily, your computer has a donor: XP

when is XP SP3 being released. im running XP SP3 RC1 but it still has some minor bugs that RC2 probably fixed.

I got this update a couple of weeks ago. I thought everyone did?
