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.
The long-awaited final service pack for the XP operating system could be made available within weeks, according to reports
Microsoft has been forced to delay the launch of SP3 for Windows XP and halted the distribution of SP1 for Windows Vista because both updates caused problems with users of the Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System.
New tests have revealed that XP with the beta SP3 has twice the performance of Vista, even with the long awaited SP1.
Microsoft has announced it's released another updated test version of Windows Vista Service Pack 1.
Windows Vista Home Basic is essentially warmed-over Windows XP, Windows XP SP3. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use.
