Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Released!



Microsoft, on Tuesday, finally released the long awaited Windows Vista Service Pack 1 to its customers. The SP1 was already rolled out to RTMs in February 2008. The Service Pack is expected to resolve most of the issues with Windows Vista. It addresses reliability, compatibility & performance related issues & adds supports for new hardware as well as new standards. The Service Pack was long awaited by most of the Vista users & the technology gurus predict that it will help Microsoft to boost sales as Windows XP users are now expected to upgrade to Windows Vista.

The service pack is also expected to disable most of the software OEM simulation hacks. After installing SP1 if the copy is found as a non-genuine copy Windows will display a message instead of going into reduced functionality mode.
