Microsoft has released a toolkit to let businesses block service pack updates for Windows XP, Vista and Server 2003.
If you've been waiting for Windows Vista SP1 to come out before you make the leap to the new operating system, don't, says Microsoft.
New tests have revealed that XP with the beta SP3 has twice the performance of Vista, even with the long awaited SP1.
Microsoft will release the first service pack for Windows Vista in Q1 2008 and the company has revealed that test versions of the update are currently 1GB; Redmond also admitted it is working on Windows XP SP3.
Microsoft has announced it's released another updated test version of Windows Vista Service Pack 1.
So, it seems the WOW -- for Microsoft's Windows Vista -- is not now, but sometime in the future, maybe.
If you aren't impressed by the OS update's flash new features, consider getting Vista for its tougher defences, Windows chief Jim Allchin says.

The Mozilla Foundation is perhaps best known for its Firefox web browser, an open source offering that was first developed to go head-to-head with Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
There are some strings attached to running Microsoft's OS on a Mac -- including Windows security risks, Apple says.
A little more than one year after its release, Windows Vista will receive its first service pack update in March. Microsoft says the pack will offer better compatibility with third-party hardware, increased reliability, tighter security, and better performance. Our tests disagree.
