SP1 Watch: Vista Performance and Reliability Pack?

Microsoft won't say and refers to them as updates

Microsoft seems to be chewing on a "Vista Performance and Reliability Pack" and "Vista Compatibility and Reliability Pack" that leaked out from outside Windows Server 2008 beta testers then - poof - disappeared that may or may be part of - or even the whole of - the date-undetermined and therefore increasingly mysterious Vista Service Pack 1 on which many a Vista deployment hangs.

Microsoft won't say and refers to them as updates.

Microsoft watchers think the things could come out on August 14, when Microsoft has scheduled its usual monthly updates.

Again Microsoft won't say.

The hot-fixes reportedly address performance issues and include additional file formats and hardware support.

Remember now that Microsoft promised the Justice Department and Google that the Service Pack would modify the way Vista Search works.
