New Vista Service Pack Out and About

By Robert | August 28, 2007

It is starting to look like the new Service Pack (SP) 1 for Windows Vista is even closer then we through. A new version of the service pack has turned up in the wild. The new version has been released to private beta testers, and it looks like one of the testers didn’t feel the need to keep it so private. The new version of the service pack can be found on more then one BitTorrent site if you looks hard enough.

The last version of Vista SP1 came as a complete instillation, which meant that you could not upgrade an existing install of Windows. To use the new SP you would have to do a completely clean install. This build seems to be just a 684MB executable file that can be used to upgrade your existing instillation.

I wasn’t surprised by the size of the service pack. Vista is in need of some serious patches and this sounds like it’s going to be every Vista users dream. I am a Vista user and have a list as long as my arm, consisting of all the bugs and faults. Let’s hope this will bring an end to all the problems. But with all service packs, this one when released will come with a whole new set of problems.

It goes without saying, but if you are considering trying the new beta service pack, do so with extreme caution. Microsoft software is very buggy at the best of times, but running a beta Service Pack is just asking for trouble.
