Vista SP1 Released to Windows Update + My Thoughts
19 March 2008 in Maintenance | Comments enabled
Earlier today, Windows Vista Service Pack 1 was released to Windows Update.
If your computer is set to download updates automatically - you’ve probably already at least started to download it, if not installed it already.
Since the MSDN release, SP1 seems to have shrunk somewhat, coming in at a mere 66.9 megabytes. Good news for all those with slow connections.
Go download it now from Windows Update!
My Thoughts
I promised you all an overview of the changes in Service Pack 1, and how they impact general usage.
Well, the honest answer is there’s nothing fantastic to shout about. It’s most a collection of security fixes and under-the-hood tweaks. As far as I can tell, there’s nothing major to see, other a few tweaks to the Remote Desktop Connection interface.
There are many updates on the Application Compatibility, Reliability, and performance fronts. You can find a complete list of the changes over on Technet.
