Microsoft Service Pack 1 for Vista and Office 2007

Microsoft just released its technician's version of their long awaited Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Office 2007 SP1.  You can download and use this service pack in your test beds.  Just know that it's likely that the service packs will change before they are released to the public in Q1 of 2008. 

If you're the average user and decide to apply this service pack, be prepared to do a clean install of your operating system when the final release comes out.

As time-consuming and annoying as keeping track of all these service packs can be, it DOES create lots of service revenue opportunities for savvy computer services companies like My PC Pros. You could almost call it a "full-employment act" of sorts for computer consulting firms, VARs, network integrators, and IT solution providers.

For most small businesses that you take care of, keeping them current on all the latest/greatest service packs can and should be folded into your annual support contract arrangements.

And you're absolutely right... ALWAYS test these out on your internal test beds BEFORE putting your clients at risk.

Best wishes,
