Microsoft readies first Vista service pack beta
InternetNews | at | by Mike
After weeks of confusion over when the beta of Windows Vista's first service pack will see the light of day, Microsoft finally announced a tentative schedule today. The bad news is that the beta is still a ways off.
In fact, the most that Microsoft will say in trying to pin down the start of beta testing for Vista Service Pack 1 is "in a few weeks." As to when it will be available as final code, the company is saying that the current schedule pegs "release to manufacturing" or RTM as coming in the first quarter of 2008.
