Windows Vista users who have been chomping at the bit to join the beta test of its first service pack can now download the software thanks to an apparent reversal late last week by Microsoft. After initially offering the latest beta version, known as “Vista SP1 RC Refresh,” to its 15,000 beta testers last Wednesday, the company reportedly decided on Friday to open the testing up to the general public. The change was made to add fresh blood to the beta testing and garner additional feedback from testers, according to Microsoft.
