The first software Service Pack (SP1) for Microsoft's Windows Vista and Server 2008 software platforms has been ‘released to manufacturing' and will be available for public download from next month.Speaking of the development on the company's official Vista blog, Mike Nash from its Windows Product Management group explained: "We have released Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista to manufacturing for our first set of languages - English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese."Service Pack 1 is a very important milestone because it addresses many of the key issues that our customers have identified with Windows Vista over the last year both, directly and through programs like the Customer Experience Improvement Program," he added.With Service Pack 1, Microsoft is claiming to have made major progress in improving the OS' performance, reliability and compatibility with third-party software applications and hardware peripherals.Admitting some of Vista's initial teething problems, Nash went on: "Some customers had issues finding applications that worked well on Windows Vista; others had problems finding the right device drivers for some of the hardware devices that they used. The reason for these issues is that in order to improve the reliability and security of Windows Vista, we made some important architectural changes to the system. While this caused some issues in the short term, in the long term we know that these investments will improve both the reliability and security of the customer experience on Windows."
