Well, it’s been released to manufacturers. So, I wouldn’t count on seeing this for your desktop just yet. So, what does this service pack bring?
Two of the biggest complaints in Vista has been the software and driver support. I have personally had both of these issues. SP1 adds better support on both of these issues. From the Vista development blog: “For example, 98 out of the top-selling 100 applications have versions available for Windows Vista. And through the great work of our hardware partners, we now have 78,000 devices and components supported by Windows Update, up from about 34,000 in November 2006.”
You can expect these improvements to be available through the download center and in mid March. Auto update service will being pushing these updates in mid April. They stated additional driver support as one reason. I’m sure hitting manufacturers and enterprise customers first is probably part of that equation too.
