A strong backlash from technical users of Windows Vista has forced Microsoft to revise its general release dates for Vista Service Pack 1. Vista SP1 will be released to Windows Update and to the download center in the first five languages in mid-March, said Mike Nash from Microsoft’s Windows Product Management Group. Windows Vista customers who have updates downloaded automatically to their PCs would get access to Vista SP1 in mid-April. The delay in releasing Vista SP1 was to ensure compatibility with some device drivers that didn’t work properly during beta testing.
