Microsoft Rolls Out Vista SP1
By: Jayesh Mansukhani   |   Mar 19,2008
In a much delayed move, Microsoft today finally rolled out SP1 of its Windows Vista OS. This new service pack is a collection of all patches, which have been released till now and also include some important changes for the Vista OS. These include a relaxation of Vista’s strict WGA requirements, changes to file-copying problems that have plagued the OS since release and changes the way the OS handled older games that were designed for Windows XP.

This update is currently available through Windows Update and takes up to an hour to update the OS. This result was seen on a desktop machine with 4GB of RAM and a standard dual-core E8200. The SP1 will also be available via Amazon. While at first glance we couldn’t find an administrative standalone installer of SP1, we are sure it will turn up sooner or later.

For users upgrading to this new SP, please note that the following security software are directly affected:

1) BitDefender Antivirus and Internet Security, version 10
2) Fujitsu's Shock Sensor hard drive protection for rugged laptops;
3) Two versions of Jiangmin KV Antivirus software and
4) Check Point Technologies' Zone Alarm Security Suite.

We will update this page, as we find more details emerging about this new SP1.
