Microsoft was right to delay SP1 release | |
|
||
| Time: 00:01 EST/05:01 GMT | News Source: ComputerWorld | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Microsoft is taking a lot of heat by announcing that Vista SP1 is ready, but then not making it available for the general public until some time in March. But Microsoft made the right move by delaying launch -- if SP1 were out today, plenty of people would be having very serious driver problems. As Computerworld's Eric Lai reports, Microsoft delayed launching SP1 because of incompatibilities between the service pack and drivers on peoples' machine. Microsoft won't necessarily be fixing those drivers before launch. Instead, it is tracking down which drivers cause problems, and then ensuring that Microsoft Update, or some other method, will block SP1 from being installed on hardware with potential driver glitches. |

It's either ready or it's not. It's that simple...
And holding it back from the very people that need to integrate and test it for these very driver issues is just plain stupid, and IMHO nullifies the whole argument that it is being held back for driver reasons. TL BTW... AW Web Site performance is horrid lately. This post was edited by TechLarry on Wednesday, February 06, 2008 at 07:26. |
