MS isn't going to release the official service pack for Vista next Tuesday. What they are going to release is just a Release Candidate (What is that?)

Personally I will wait for the OFFICIAL SP1 to roll out sometime in 2008. It's just that I don't wish to install anything RC or Beta ore initial release on my productivity laptop.

Yeah, probably will install it, since they tell you to uninstall it prior to the official realease of the SP. You can also de-install it once the other one come out.

I never install beta's or RC's on my primary pc. There isn't a point because you will just have to uninstall it before installing the final version, unless you are a beta tester and test Beta or RC software on a secondary pc. Not to mention Beta's and RC's can have glitches or become unstable. Last thing I need is my primary pc crashing because of a Vista SP1 Beta or RC release......

Wait, an RC for a SP? How much testing do you need for a patch rollup? It shouldn't be THAT hard to figure out if you rolled them up in the correct order.

If it's Microsoft, you need all the testing you can get.

I remember horrible patches from ME, 2000 and XP.

Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well- warmed, and well-fed.

I believe the SP1 for Vista will be more than a patch rollup. I have read that it will also include enhancements for Vista defragmentation engine.
