Star Near-Final Vista SP1 Goes Public
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 14th Jan 2008 14:39 UTC
Windows Microsoft has made Vista's Service Pack 1 near-final 'release candidate' available for download to the general public, after initially choosing to restrict it to 15000 beta testers when it debuted last week. According to a blog by ZDNet.com's Mary Jo Foley, a Microsoft representative said the build contained a "number of bugs that testers encountered in previous prerelease versions of SP1". The update is largely a collection of bug fixes and performance and compatibility improvements, but includes some minor new features.

Wasn't the Vista's mantra that drivers have been removed from kernel and that they will not cause any more BSOD's? If that is true then what is causing it?

Yogurth, removing drivers from the kernel isn't the correct term. But if you are talking about userspace, maybe someone with more knowledge can explain this better to us.
