Microsoft Releases Vista Service Packs
After weeks of speculation and leaked versions of software, Microsoft has released two service pack updates for Windows Vista.
Microsoft also confirmed last week that Vista Service Pack 1 and XP Service Pack 3 are being tested.
Since the end of July, two unofficial versions of Windows Vista updates have been in circulation, after they are thought to have leaked via an unnamed channel. Yesterday Microsoft announced its official release on the download centre, though it will not give a date when it will become available via Windows Update.

Since the end of July, two unofficial versions of Windows Vista updates have been in circulation, after they are thought to have leaked via an unnamed channel. Yesterday Microsoft announced its official release on the download centre, though it will not give a date when it will become available via Windows Update.
Desperate users have used the unofficial channel to obtain fixes for a long list of non-security bug fixes. One of the biggest complaints among Vista users is the lethargic emergence from hibernation that the operating system imposes on PCs. A long-awaited patch is expected to help avoid the process dubbed the "emerging from a coma" function.
Other fixed problems include difficulties in moving directories, and compatibility differences with video drivers.
All of the fixes, said Microsoft, are new to Vista. No existing updates are being replaced. The 10Mbyte performance update KB938979 can be downloaded from the Microsoft download centre. Vista's reliability update KB938194 is also available, and takes up 2.1MB. A Knowledge Base document, which spells out changes, is also available for download.

we were making our own OS called hacker. but the person leading the development got arrested, so i believe its put on hold for a while :p …………… and in regards to the news post… i think microsoft have made a mistake with vista… however they've made their bed now they got to sleep in it…. i dont think i'll be upgrading(?) to vista anytime soon. i'll hang onto XP for as long as games are still running on them!

I have Vista on here, (only because it came with it, and the bastards refused to give it to me formatted), and it runs fairly well, it's not all that bad. Most of the games that work on XP run fine on Vista too :p

I re-formatted my laptop just for XP. I'm kind of weary on their SP3, though. You think they'll mess up SP3 so everyone gets annoyed and converts to Vista?
