Microsoft has announced that it has released Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008 to manufacturing (RTM) on Monday. Windows Vista SP1 brings new improvements that are based on customer’s feedback. According to Microsoft, Vista SP1 is a very important milestone, because it addresses many of the key issues that their customers have identified over the last year.

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. With Service Pack 1, we have made great progress in performance, reliability and compatibility. - Official Windows Vista Blog.

SP1 also includes changes focused on improving the performance of Windows Vista in areas that impact the customer experience the most. For instance, with SP1, copying or moving files around your PC, your home network or your corporate network should now be much faster — up to 50% faster in some scenarios (according to our internal tests). In addition, on many kinds of hardware, resuming a Windows Vista-based PC from sleep is faster on Service Pack 1.

So, when Vista SP1 will arrive? According to Microsoft, in mid-March, they will release Windows Vista SP1 to Windows Update (in English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese) and to the download center on microsoft.com. Then, in mid-April, they will begin delivering Windows Vista SP1 to Windows Vista customers who have chosen to have updates downloaded automatically. The remaining languages will get it after April.
