Windows Vista SP1 Officially Released
Today, Microsoft has released officially Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (KB936330) to the general public. This is what Microsofts calls Wave 0, or the first language versions of SP1.
The languages already available are English, German, French, Spanish and Japanese. All are included in the downloaded setup.
Few weeks ago i posted about the new disc images that are probably set to hit the stores in the upcoming days. This is the preferred way to install all service packs, doing a clean install. But for most people this is not possible and that is why there is an Update setup.
I have SP1 already in my laptop and it is running great. My desktop computer is waiting for me to finish doing my unattended setup to install it.
So far, the only Windows Update that appeared post-SP1 is the monthly release of Microsoft’s Malware Removal Tool. Almost all of the highly criticized performance and compatibility issues are gone (for those of you, that, unlike me, have come to experience this issues with Vista).
Read the Overview of Windows Vista SP1, including what’s new, technical details, guidelines and notable changes.
There is one thing to note though. Vista SP1 will be released via Windows Update in the upcoming days and the file size will be smaller because it will only contain the appropriate language. This Wave 0 release if intended for people that don’t want to wait and want to deploy it right away.
Before installing SP1, read Microsoft’s article “Things to Know Before you Download Windows Vista SP1“.
This Wave 0 is available in 32bit & 64bit so choose the appropriate version when downloading.
