Good news for everyone who’s waiting with baited breath for the release of Windows Vista Service Pack 1: Microsoft released the first release candidate of SP1 to beta testers today, which means that a final release can’t be that far off. As you might recall, Vista SP1 is set to deliver a whole slew of improvements to Microsoft’s latest OS [1], including a speed boost, increased third-party application compatibility, more drivers, better encryption and improved battery life for laptops. The company has previously stated that the service pack will be available in early 2007 [2] and as far as we can tell, they should have no problem making it happen.
