George Hanus, we just announced general availability of Windows Vista SP1 today with this blog post from Nick:

http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/2008/03/18/windows-vista-sp1-released-to-windows-update.aspx

That should help you in getting a hold of SP1!

Thanks,

Brandon

As a MS Partner and action pack subscriber, I cannot find where to download and test SP1. The Technet site is a different subsciption site. Any clue where I can download it and get on with business?

Moderator can email if you wish.

Thaks much in advance.

George

Pretty sad that Autopatcher is no more, not that I ever used it. Windows Update was fine for me but then I only ever update my machines at home once in a while and all my relatives PCs have fast internet access.

However I could see that it will make maintaining or fixing PCs if your in that line of work much harder, and as Windows Vista needs more fixing than most XP installs it may be a bad move in the long run. However if Microsoft releases SP1 as a separate download that doesnt require an internet connection to install that may soften the blow to people who regularly fix or update PCs.

Since Autopatcher was told to stop distributing Microsoft's patches, Dial-up users don't update windows, they just look at the several 100 hours to update, and just cancel and turn of windows update.

HEROS in the Server Farm!

Today I was glad, proud, elated, inciplicated, to officially launch our Windows Server 2008 Suite of products!

At the "rally/news conference" I waxed eloquent in praising IT workers, calling them the "Heart and Soul" of our industry!

"They are HEROS! One and all! They wade through the pirana-infested waters of the internet! Battle the dragons of bad code! Fight off the anti-Microsoft trolls! Slay the demon-hackers! They fearlessly, boldly blaze the trail of technology leading the masses into the shiney, glowing city of the future! A beautiful future! A Microsoft dominated future!"

I was so excited that I didn't realise that I was flailing my arms, leaping up and down and drewling on the podium. I'm just glad that we banned video cameras or I would have another one of those Monkey-boy videos to deal with!

Folks, Windows Server 2008 is just that good! If it doesn't have you flailing, leaping and drewling after using it for a few days, you just don't really understand what you are looking at!

In fact the drivers could also be bad written.

But, for the SO user it does not matter.

What matter is the SO stable without crashes.

how Microsoft will manage to solve it, because it is strategic for MS, is their busines. If the crash is responsability of Microsoft or ATI or NVidia, for the final user it is not important. The important is the impact on sales of SO. And less crashes means (for the final user) more acceptance, and for MS means more sales.
