Windows Vista Service Pack 1 will be out next week...

Start marking your calendars now, word on the street is that the highly anticipated release of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 will be out next week, Feb. 4, 2008. This will be designated as RTM (Release to Manufacturing).

Other than the vast improvements incorporated into this update, the most notable is the security update that will disable the two most common exploits being used by pirates:

  • oem bios hack
  • grace timer exploit

As microsoft have put it,"they will not try to stop every mad scientists trying to defeat their protection but to make it more and more difficult to be hacked..."

Well I guess only time can tell...
