No Vista SP1 this year

A recent court filing submitted by the Justice Department, state attorneys general and Microsoft revealed that Windows Vista Service Pack 1 will be available later this year as a beta. Will that mean final delivery in 2007 or 2008?

Early indications are that <A HREF="http://www.microsoft-watch.com/content/vista/uhoh_no_vista_sp1_this_year.html?kc=EWWHNEMNL062107EOAD">Vista SP1 will be released some time in 2008,</A> based on information I've obtained from my sources. However, Microsoft could dedicate more resources to SP1 development in order to make the Vista search changes sooner because of a court oversight. That said, Vista search changes could just as easily slow down the SP1 development.
