Microsoft inadvertently releases Vista SP1
Microsoft experienced a boo-boo last Thursday when the software giant inadvertently released Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista to a a number of users. Vista SP1 is supposed to be released mid-March.
SP1 is supposed to be the first major update/upgrade to the new OS that was released January 2007. What happened was that Vista SP1 was posted on Windows Update and was, by some glitch, made available to a large group that accessed Windows Update.
A number of users who actually know of the release date were surprised to see the availability of SP1. But the company has reiterated that the mid-March timeframe is still on schedule.
A few weeks ago, Microsoft also released SP3 Release Candidate 2 for Windows XP. The update has been made available on Windows Update but users are asked to revise some settings on their registry in order to get the update.
