SP1 time for Vista and Office 2007

Microsoft has released the SP1's for Windows Vista and Office 2007.

For Office, you can get it here.
For Vista, visit here.

I have installed Office 2007 SP1. I didn't notice any new feature. But, the performance improved generally, and especially for Outlook 2007.

For Vista, I am still waiting for the download to finish; my network is something wrong these days. But, if you have a chance, install it. It will improve the file copying dramatically; Vista file copying has been the center of attention for the critics and it has actually shown me that it's gonna take 37,000 days to finish copying a bunch of files.

Also, with Vista SP1, the WGA check will release its tight grip on users. If you forgot to activate your copy of Windows, it will no longer limit you to just one hour's log in and access IE only. That was way too annoying and it too happened to me once; I installed it as a test and never get to use it until after one and a half month later. Then all I could see was "nothing" and I could only use IE. Damn!

Please note though that Vista SP1 RC is a time limited version and you will have to uninstall it before you could install the RTM.
