Microsoft is already putting the feelers out for testers
of its first Vista service pack, before the product even
hits the shelves in shops later this month.
The company has already written to customers and partners about
the impending service pack 1, which is expected to be released some
time during the second half of this year.
Enterprises struggling with widespread Vista deployments will be
hoping the service pack isn’t anything as extensive as the service
pack 2 for Windows XP.
That mammoth update, which included security updates and changes
in the way the OS fundamentally worked, caused major headaches for
firms, with many delaying its deployment as a result.
The first service pack for XP came within a year of its launch,
so Microsoft seems to be continuing the tradition.
Vista has been available to large businesses since last
November.
