Monday morning at 6:00 am in Redmond, Microsoft announced that Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008, which were co-developed from the same code base, were released to manufacturing. Vista SP1 is the first major update to Microsoft's desktop operating system and is expected to trigger a new wave of corporate adoption. Meanwhile, Windows Server 2008 is the server-based follow-up to Windows Server 2003 R2, which was released in 2005.
"Microsoft has worked with its partners to significantly improve the Windows Vista experience in Service Pack 1," a Microsoft spokesperson told me. "Customers will especially see enhanced value in terms of security, performance, reliability and application compatibility.
