No Vista SP1 This Week

[HardOCP News]

Windows Connected says that they have been informed by Microsoft that there will be no SP1 anytime soon and that only a select few testers will get their hands on an early build.

“There will be a Windows Vista service pack and our current expectation is that a beta will be made available sometime this year. Service packs are part of the traditional software lifecycle — they’re something we do for all Microsoft products as part of our commitment to continuous improvement, and providing early test builds is a standard practice that helps us incorporate customer feedback and improve the overall quality of the product.

I hope RyanVm or one of those other update packers are on that list of the few

And to put it mildly - it would be not such a great idea for either a tester to release into the wild, or someone in the general population to consider using a BETA of a M$ service pack. Look @ how much of a PITA Win XP's SP1 was... Personally, I'd wait until not only the actual release, but wait until the feathers die down and let OTHER people be the installation guinea pigs.

I just want the service pack released by 4/08. That way it will be released and all the bugs discovered by the time I upgrade my work to Vista next summer.
