Not long now folks, the long awaited vista "repair kit" is on its way
http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080204-vista-sp1-released-to-manufacturing-will-arrive-in-march.htmlMicrosoft today announced that Service Pack 1 (SP1) of Windows Vista has been released to manufacturing. Eagerly anticipated by Vista aficionados around the world, SP1 will be initially available in five languages—English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese. Users will be able to download SP1 beginning in mid-March, as Microsoft is timing its release to coincide with the retail availability of new systems pre-installed with SP1.
The beta testing of Vista SP1 identified device drivers which were improperly designed and likely to cause system incompatibilities with SP1. As such, Microsoft will be making SP1 available to Vista users in mid-March via Windows Update.
Ltes hope this resolves many of the problems folks have been having, although as I reported a few weeks ago your likely to need a new graphics card come update time.
