Windows Vista SP1 – I have it =] February 22, 2008

As many of you ‘may’ know, Microsoft has been working on the latest service pack [SP1] for its latest OS [Vista].

This seems to be a highly anticipated update as it includes many bug fixes and minor UI improvements but most of all has changed its Kernel to that of Server 2008 rather than the standing Server 2003 Kernel. Now I’m not exactly sure how much of a difference this is [as i dont know the kernel well - no-one really does] but the next main improvement is that the transferring of files has been improved greatly.

There have been problems reported of beta testers having to reinstall some drivers after the installation of SP1 RC and therefore since the RTM was made ready on February 4th 2008, Microsoft said they would release the update publicly in Mid-March 08.

However, I have managed to find a way around getting the RTM version of the SP and although I am still waiting to see the differences, it feels good to know I have the latest and supposedly greatest version of Vista so far =]

Comment if you would like to know how =P
