Near-final Microsoft Vista SP1 goes public
By
Microsoft has made Vista’s Service Pack 1 near-final “release candidate” available for download to the general public, after initially choosing to restrict it to 15,000 beta testers when it debuted last week.
The update is largely a collection of bug fixes and performance and compatibility improvements, but includes some minor new features. SP1 RC Refresh, as the update is known, requires previous versions of SP1 to be uninstalled before it can be replaced with Refresh, which may entail waiting for the computer to “reboot multiple times,” according to Microsoft. After multiple rebooting, a period of an hour is required to allow the installer service to “clean up and complete the uninstall” to prevent possible installation errors.
