Near-Final Vista SP1 Goes Public

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.
