Microsoft releases Vista SP1
By Stuart Turton,
Microsoft's latest operating system Windows Vista has recieved its first official service pack update.
Microsoft announced in January that SP1 would be released mid-March, giving it time to address a series of driver bugs discovered in the beta testing phase. The software giant released a beta of the update in January.
Nonetheless, the release has still caught many by surprise following a recent spate of delayed products, including its virtualisation product Hyper-V for Windows Server 2008.
SP1 is available through its Windows Update site and download centre. The company plans to push it out to PCs through automatic updates sometime in mid-April.
Those expecting a raft a new features are liable to be disappointed, with Microsoft essentially bundling together a series of bug fixes and performance tweaks.
