Microsoft prepare Vista SP1

RUMOURS ARE A-FLUTTER of Microsoft releasing its Service Pack 1 RC to testers on the first of December, reports this ZDnet blog.

The vole is said to be testing the SP1 RC build internally at present, build number 17051. After the RC build is released, first to testers then to the general public, Microsoft is hoping to let loose the final SP1 code in Q1, 2008.

A preview build had been released earlier this month to 15,000 candidates. The new release details are a tad blurry though, with it being unclear whether the RC Vista SP1 will be made available to Microsoft Developer Network testers.

It seems this may be the case, with a note accidentally posted on the MSDN site earlier this month about a SP1 code download.
