Vista SP1 beta sent to 12,000 testers

25-09-2007

by Silicon.com

Microsoft has released a beta version of the first service pack of Windows Vista to about 12,000 testers.

Microsoft had said back in August it expected to start private testing of the service pack within a few weeks. The update is largely a collection of bug fixes and performance and compatibility improvements but includes some minor new features such as support for the ability to encrypt multiple hard drive partitions using Vista's BitLocker feature.

In another expected move, Microsoft said it has completed its first near-final "release candidate" version of Windows Server 2008. The "RC0" version is slated to be available for download from Microsoft's website imminently.

Originally slated to be released this year, Microsoft has delayed the release of Windows Server 2008 until next year.
