Microsoft Stops Offering Vista Service Pack Prerequisite
Just when we though Service Pack 1 was on the way, they pull it back. Microsoft has suspended distributing the prerequisite system update, the one that installs before Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and prepares your system, due to some problems users were experiencing. Hopefully it gets resolved soon enough.
On the other hand, Windows XP Service Pack 3 is practically done. Windows Update has the RC2 version of the SP for you, if you first install an update script that makes it available for you. You can help see if this version is ready for prime time, or wait a few weeks for the final release.
