Windows Vista SP1 coming next week?
Here’s what might be good news for Vista lovers. The guys at Techarp.com are saying that finally, the long awaited Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is only a few days away: February 4 might be the big day.
Service Pack 1 will come in 2 “waves”. The first one will only include the 5 languages: English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese. The second wave will include all 36 basic languages plus Chinese. Our massive number of chinese readers should rejoice!
What’s new:
* All previously released updates since RTM
* Performance and reliability improvements in core scenarios such as file copy, network browsing, and improved response time to resume from sleep.
* Support for new types of hardware, and several emerging standards.
* There are improvements to the administration experience. One of the most important changes we’re making is that BitLocker now supports encrypting for multiple volumes.
Also it’s worth mentioning that Service Pack 1 will remove two well-known ways to hack Vista. Meaning: the OEM Bios exploit and the Grace Timer exploit. Yay! GG Bill! (or Microsoft, whatever)! I’d also suggest to M$ to raise the prices of the Windows XP licenses because it’s only been like... 15 years since it’s release and it’s still way too „cheap”.
