Microsoft’s Mike Nash has announced a change in the dates of Vista Service Pack 1 availability for technical customers:
- Late Friday we made SP1 RTM available to individuals and companies who participated in the SP1 beta program
- At the end of this week we will be making the English version of Windows Vista SP1 available to Volume Licensing customers. Other languages will follow soon after
- Later this month, SP1 will be available to MSDN and TechNet Plus subscribers
I can confirm that the downloaded packages are already on Connect for beta testers. It’s good to see MSDN and TechNet customers get some respect.
And that is what I call: Express Satisfaction.
Call me happy now. As a technet subscriber, I normally like to go ahead and get the future apps to start testing ASAP, before getting blindsided. I am glad MS relented on this one.
