This explains why we have not to date published any findings of benchmark tests (nor commissioned anyone to do so) on

Microsoft is hard at effort beating away at the first service pack for Windows Vista.

But at the equal time the Redmond company is test driving the refresh in order to estimate the evolution of development milestone releases in respect to the quality standard that will recommend SP1 for the final open. Just the past week, a preview of the first release Candidate of Vista SP1 went to just about 15,000 testers. Still, Microsoft is also hosting on-location events focused around Vista SP1.

SP1 also addresses some management, deployment and support challenges", he stated.

Although Windows Update is not yet a fully fledged substitute for the service pack release practice, Microsoft has hinted that small and incremental updates are the way of the future, in contrast to large and bloated refreshes.

Starting with its debut on the market, Vista has had quite a rough ride, experiencing a plethora of issues, mostly centered around software and hardware incompatibilities, as well as performance. (more…)
