SP1!

Time flies.

It seems as if it was just yesterday when Windows Vista was released, and now Service Pack 1 is already taking shape, with an initial beta version going to be released soon. According to the Windows Vista Weblog, rumour has it that July 29 would be the date for this release. This news wouldn't excite the consumer market much, because no consumer really cares about bug fixes and Microsoft allowing Instant Search to run in the background together with third-party search softwares (like Google Desktop Search) etc.

Nevertheless, this is my advice to all those who are planning to purchase a new computer sometime soon: If possible, hang on until SP1, it will be worth it, though it still looks very much the same as before. No point getting a new system only to be deemed outdated in a few months time...
