According to the CMP article SP1 will address problems with device drivers and application compatibility issues, though there was no specific mention of the Vista audio bug that's affected many people. - -And don't expect Vista SP1 to be like an XP service pack -- packed with new features. Zipkin says, "Windows XP SP1 was a departure from what we like service packs to be. Vista SP1 is about improvements to the user experience and enhancing existing capabilities." - -The show stopping quote in the article though is Zipkin's admission that some users are having problems with Vista. Taking euphemisms to a new level, Zipkin says: "we're aware that people are having some variety in their experiences with Windows Vista." - -So what can you expect from SP1? So far there aren't many details available, but Vista SP1 will expand the coverage of the Bitlocker drive encryption and feature some changes to Patchguard, the security tool that's designed to stop malicious code from operating at the kernel level. - -Beyond that Microsoft isn't talking. You'll just have to wait a few weeks for the beta release to get more details.
