Microsoft on Wednesday kicked off automatic distribution of Windows Vista Service Pack 1, the first major update to the year-and-a-half-old operating system.
Microsoft has made the latest version of Vista's SP1 release candidate available for download to the general public -- after initially restricting it to 15,000 beta testers when it first debuted earlier last week.
Microsoft is resuming automatic distribution of a SP1 prerequisite update, which sent some Vista users into an endless reboot cycle during installation.
If you've been waiting for Windows Vista SP1 to come out before you make the leap to the new operating system, don't, says Microsoft.
Microsoft will release the first service pack for Windows Vista in Q1 2008 and the company has revealed that test versions of the update are currently 1GB; Redmond also admitted it is working on Windows XP SP3.

A little more than one year after its release, Windows Vista will receive its first service pack update in March. Microsoft says the pack will offer better compatibility with third-party hardware, increased reliability, tighter security, and better performance. Our tests disagree.
Service Pack 1 (SP1) reinstates a lot of the functionality that Microsoft left out in order to get Exchange Server 2007 out of the door last year.
Previously known as the MacBook, Apple's basic 13-inch aluminium unibody laptop has been promoted to the "Pro" series, all while adding features and cutting the base price.
Apple made a number of changes to the 24-inch iMac, but making it available at this price is the most impressive. The rest of the updates are welcome, and Apple's multitasking capability remains unmatched.
Apple's newest Mac Mini is set to be a hit, being both small and powerful. We suspect that if Apple had managed to squeeze Blu-ray support in there, it would take a large chunk of the home theatre PC market.
