A glitch this month made Windows Vista Service Pack 1 available to general users running the 64-bit version of Vista – nearly a month early. Users who chose “check for new updates” via Windows Update saw that Service Pack 1 was ready. The code has been finalized, and no flaws have been reported due to the glitch. In fact, the update was recently released to businesses with volume licensing pacts as well as MSDN and TechNet developers. This particular release, however, was only meant for technically advanced testers, not a broad group of users. Microsoft has stated that SP1 will be released for general availability in mid-March.
