Service Pack Due Date

Is there any planned Service Pack for VISTA? I cannot believe that it so
this quirky.

First - if you upgraded - I suggest starting over - from scratch. Clean
installation.

Second - verify you have the latest drivers for each component of hardware
straight fromthe hardware manufacturer. That should help some.

Third - make sure there are not updated versions of whatever software
packages you are running for Vista (or just patches for said software...)

Last - Google...

If you think SP1 will remedy all of the problems you are probably
experiencing... You are mistaken.

No two people generally have the same experience for anything in life. A
few of the machines I have tried Vista on - worked great in the past. A few
solidly bombed. Others - somewhere in between. It all depends on your
hardware, manufacturer support for Vista, the software you choose to run,
manufacturer support for Vista and the end-user skill and patience levels.

Direct answer to you actual question - 2nd half 2007 - and that is exact as
you will get and the actual release date *will* vary as time passes.

To uninstall Windows Vista SP1 use the following steps:


1. Click on the Start Menu and go to Control Panel

2. Double click on Programs and Features

3. On the left side menu, select View Installed Updates

4. Under the list of Microsoft Windows, select Service Pack for Windows
(KB936330)

5. On the top menu, click on Uninstall


I can not get the service pack to show "uninstall" in the top menu where
view, organize, etc. Is there a way to manually remove the service pack?
Thanks for any help.

You have decided to install a non-final version of the Windows Vista Service
pack 1 (Release Candidate...) I do hope you did not install this patch on a
working/production PC.

You referenced:
Release notes for the Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Release Candidate
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936330

So this does not work?

Open the Programs and Features control panel and select View installed
updates. In the Microsoft Windows section, right-click Service Pack for
Windows (936330) and select Uninstall.

That is what I did and the item would not highlight on the installed update
list with an "uninstall" reference in the line above. Other installed
updates show an installation option. This si stumping me.
