Has anybody else spotted the bug in Vista Windows Mail which appears to move
all the words around in newsgroup messages?

...anyone feel like a smarmy response involving Service Packs?

Nah, too tired. Going to bed... goodnight all )

The "final" version will probably be some Service Pack version of Windows
Vista. Windows XP should be getting at least an SP3 version in 2007 and
perhaps even an SP4 version sometime later.

Windows Vista will either get a number of service packs a la XP or NT4 ..
or Microsoft will not give Vista a long run preferring a new version of
Windows within a couple years or so a la Windows 98 which only got one real
update (SP1/S.E) and lasted only a couple years before Millennium and 2000
took over. AFAIK, Microsoft can change course on these things so who's to
say?

SE was not an update for Windows 98.
Windows 98 SE was a new version of Windows 98
If you wanted Windows 98 SE, then you had to buy it unlike Service Packs
which are free.
There is no Service Pack for Windows 98 IIRC.

As for when the final version of Vista will be released, see the other posts
in this thread.
