SP1 For Vista

Enter the Service Pack 1 for Microsoft’s Windows Vista Operating System. The long awaited updates will be arriving this March. With this, Microsoft has promised improve over reliability, security, and performance. Sadly, Microsoft will not offer the update to those Vista PCs that have been found with 'problematic' device drivers.

Some of the updates mentioned in the Microsoft TechNet website are application compatibility, reliability, performance and power consumption, and security improvements. Together in the service pack are support for new technologies and standards available today.

This is the biggest updates since it was last release in January 30th last year. I hope with this Service Pack 1 most of the flaws Vista had previously will be eliminates.
