On February eleven, responding to buyer unrest, Microsoft announced it'll make Vista Services Pack (SP) 1 out there previously than it originally promised.Originally, the earliest any person was likely to be able to obtain the bits labeled as final was mid-March, although Microsoft actually released-to-manufacturing (RTM) the code on February 4.On February 11,
Office 2010 Pro Plus, Microsoft announced an about-face in its planned rollout schedule. Microsoft has produced the release-to-manufacturing (RTM) create of SP1 obtainable to individual who participated within the SP1 beta program,
Windows 7 Home Premium, as of “late Friday” (February 8). At the end of this week, Microsoft will make the English version of Vista SP1 offered to its volume-licensing customers, with other languages to follow “soon after.” And some time later this month,
Office Standard 2010, Microsoft will make the final SP1 bits accessible to its Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet Plus subscribers.Mid-March is still the date when Microsoft is planning to make SP1 broadly out there to customers who are less technically savvy,
Buy Office 2010, according to a new posting about the Windows Vista Team blog. And it sounds like there;s no change in the targeted availability date — April — when PC makers will start offering the last SP1 bits preloaded on new machines.Many tech enthusiasts and some corporate customers were unhappy with the original availability routine that Microsoft outlined on February 4. Microsoft initially said customers would have to wait more than a month to get the ultimate Vista SP1 bits. Microsoft cited driver-compatibility issues as the reason it was delaying availability.(By the way,
Buy Office 2010, the last Vista SP1 test develop and the ultimate RTM develop are the same, in spite of having different develop numbers.)While it;s good Microsoft is listening to customers, I have to say the company;s disclosure policy on SP1 — from start to finish — has been rather convoluted. But at least customers are finally getting the SP1 bits that many have been awaiting.
