I am Running Windows Vista SP1

I’m running Microsoft Windows Vista SP1 now!

Yes it’s a Pentium Quad Core 6600, 4GB Ram and Microsoft Windows Vista x64 service pack 1 v668(beta) download from MSDN.

According to Wired and Computerworld news, a leak from sources out of Taiwan confirming that Microsoft is pushing for a February 15 release date and not mid-to-late March 2008 as reported early.

Vista Service Pack 1 is the first significant update to the OS since its general release a year ago on January 30, 2007. It is said to contain dozens of bug fixes, small fixes to the user interface and improved third-party product support.

For the second time in two weeks, Microsoft Corp. has released a new build of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) to its invitation-only group of approximately 15,000 testers, giving weight to recent speculation that the final code is close.

The newest version, dubbed Vista SP1 Release Candidate (RC) Refresh 2, was released to testers yesterday, Microsoft confirmed today. “This group includes corporate customers, consumer enthusiasts, software and hardware vendors, and others,” a company spokeswoman said. “The code is not available for public download.”

Microsoft made the same claim two weeks ago, when on Jan. 11 it unveiled SP1 RC Refresh, saying then that it would keep the build private. Two days later, however, it posted the refresh to the Windows Update service.
