    • ]]>     We all know that a large portion of users are waiting for Microsoft to release Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Vista before they migrate to the operating system. This is an idea based on the success of Windows XP’s SP1, which made XP a very stable operating system. So Microsoft must be rather smug with the Service Pack’s progress. For those of you who are interested leeked versions of both Service Packs can be found, and I have provided links to sites with information at the bottom of this article.

Windows XP’s built-in firewall is not bad but it doesn’t have configurable outbound protection. Comodo Firewall Pro is a good alternative to the one that comes with XP. It’s also free.

First, it seems like an update for Vista will come sometime in 2008. Although, I’d expect a service pack to come before that to solve any outstanding issues — and increase sales.

    The revision in 2008 — codename ‘Fiji’ — will be more than a minor patchup. It seems, from what little we know, that it will be akin to SP2 for Windows XP.

So the last remaining bugs have been squashed 2 days before Microsoft’s goal of the 8th of November; although, one must remember Vista’s RTM version was originally planned for the 25th of October.
