It is GOOD thing that Microsoft will treat its corporate Vista customers kindly and release SP1 to them now, according to this story by John Fontana
in Network World. These are the folks that went out a limb in adopting the software well ahead of the corporate mass-adoption curve (which Vista has yet to hit). Users who were frustrated that they had to wait to get SP1 until new PC buyers could get it were showing their displeasure by pirating copies. That got Microsoft's attention. But corporate IT folks have a real need to get SP1 sooner than that, and get started on testing app/driver compatibility before their users waltz in the door with it. Microsoft will still release SP1 to the masses in mid-March.
