Vista Fixes Leaked. Service Pack? Jul 31, 2007 - Sheri Bloor - Permalink

Beta versions of two hotfix packs for Windows Vista have been leaked, leading to speculation that they may form the basis of a service pack.

Microsoft apparently released two Vista Compatibility and Reliability Packs numbered 938194 and 938979 to testers, but they have turned up on unofficial download sites.

938194 addresses issues relating to graphics (including HD DVD and Blu-ray playback on large monitors), Internet Explorer, networking, printing, sleep and systems upgraded from Windows XP.

938979 is concerned with issues reported by customers, notably in the areas of screensavers, Internet Explorer, hibernation and sleep, file copying and memory management.

One possibility is that the patches will be released along with Microsoft's routine 'Patch Tuesday' security updates, but whether that will happen on August 14, and whether they will be labeled as a service pack, had yet to be seen.

Generally, Microsoft recommends that hotfixes are only applied to systems exhibiting the specific symptoms that they address, while service packs are intended for general deployment. Δ
