If you've been waiting for Windows Vista SP1 to come out before you make the
leap to the new operating system, don't, says Microsoft.
Microsoft's Pete McKiernan, a senior product manager for Windows, told CNET
News.com that one of the purposes of a service pack is to include all the
patches that have been released in one package. Windows Vista SP1 will have
that, but little else for the home user.
Unlike the buzz surrounding Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista SP1 won't include
a new version of Internet Explorer, and won't include any new features that
are considered must haves. Most of the enhancements within Windows Vista SP1
are under the hood and for enterprise customers. In short, Windows Vista SP1
lacks "wow."

Currently, Microsoft is beta-testing the Windows Vista Service Pack 1 on
about 12,000 machines worldwide. As the beta continues, more users will be
invited, but the numbers will not match the estimated 5 million that tried
the operating system prior to RTM (release to manufacturing) last summer.
CNET obtained an official copy of the Windows Vista SP1 beta for review.

What surprised us is that Microsoft is really downplaying this service pack.
Why? Because, unlike Windows XP, Windows Vista includes automatic updates,
so for most users the Windows Vista SP1 release won't be dramatic. At CNET,
we found it took about two hours to install SP1 on a newly installed Windows
Vista machine, in part because we had to bring the operating system up to
date with various patches and updates before we could install the upgrade.
See our slide show for more on the installation process.

What is included in the "upgrade"? McKiernan called out two features
expected to be within Windows Vista SP1, neither is likely to excite
consumers already on the fence about Windows Vista. One is an improvement to
the BitLocker drive encryption system, available only in the Enterprise and
Ultimate editions of Windows Vista. Under SP1, BitLocker will be able to
encrypt multiple drive volumes; all drive volumes, that is, except for USB
drives.
A second feature touted by Microsoft is support for emerging hardware and
standards. Windows Vista SP1 will support Extensible Firmware Interface
(EFI), Intel standard for the interface between software, the operating
system and firmware, and Extended File Allocation Table (exFAT), a new
Microsoft file system that may eliminate the need for defragmentation in the
future.

McKiernan categorized other expected changes within Windows Vista SP1 as:

Security enhancements: There is nothing here that the desktop consumer will
notice. Under the hood, Microsoft will provide more opportunities for
third-party security vendors to communicate their product status with the
Windows Security Center. In x64-bit editions, third-party security vendors
can work with the kernel patch protection, a source of controversy last
summer. Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) files will be signed. The Windows
Pseudo-Random Number Generator will have Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC)
added. And BitLocker will add multifactor authentication combining Trusted
Platform Module (TPM) with a Startup key stored on a USB device, meaning
that the startup key must match the hardware you are trying to use.

Reliability enhancements: Microsoft has been analyzing crashes of Windows
Vista reported by users and will be making improvements. In particular, more
compatibility with newer graphics cards and printers; greater reliability
with extended displays on a laptop, various networking scenarios, in systems
that were upgraded from Windows XP, and when Windows Vista enters sleep or
resumes from sleep.

Performance enhancements: Microsoft says SP1 will offer performance boosts
including the speed to copy and extract files, time to become active from
Hibernate and Resume, CPU utilization within Internet Explorer 7 and CPU
utilization in laptops, thereby reducing battery drain, and shortening the
time when browsing network shares.

None of these is a compelling reason to wait for Windows Vista SP1. Users
who have automatic updates turned on will have a significantly shorter time
when upgrading to Windows Vista SP1 than users who don't have it turned on
or are planning to upgrade or purchase Windows Vista when SP1 becomes
available. That appears to be Microsoft's message with this release: The
more you use Windows Vista, the better it gets. So why not get started
today?

In short, judging by what we've seen, don't expect SP1 to be the impetus to
get you or your corporation to upgrade to Windows Vista.

WOW says his mother. Tibery-OS lacks that WOW factor. I wonder if we need
to get him some Viagra? Dunno says his DAD. If it "works", there will only
be one inch!

Stay tuned. Just FYI.
