"Windows Vista's first service pack is arriving on August 14 through Windows Update, roughly six months after Microsoft released Vista. It is not yet clear whether the Windows Vista service pack will include security fixes or merely update certain Vista components to improve Vista's performance and compatibility. "

I'll wait and see it for myself :-)
BTW other sites have mentioned the same thing too (August 14 WU).

Although, M$' most recent roadmap doesn't seem to focus on XP -- which is understandable -- in the least, I bet there is still much love for XP users from Redmond .... ka-ching!
Edit: It appears XP SP3 is already being tested by a select few.

microsoft came out with a couple of updates today, I am not sure that is going to count one of the updates is 14 megs big. It wont detect under windows update but it is there though.

As usual you hardly ever respond so I located them myself anyway - both are cosmetic, not critical.

For anyone tempted to download these updates, LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP - read the MSKB first!

well it seems that if more or less if you want them than go ahead from what the article says. I installed them, have no no problems with my system.

Hi fowkes,
Just to clarify Microsoft will not be releasing the much awaited Vista SP1 till well into the new year and SP3 for XP will be around that time too. Kninda gutted myself like but i've just completed a 2week training course on vista and that info came from the Microsoft trainer. Forgive me microsoft but i'm rolling back to XP till Vista is sorted. Cheers fowks
