If you've been following my blog for a bit you'll know that we haven't had the greatest time with Windows Vista so far.  For a while now I've been holding out hope that SP1 will resolve many of the issues we've been facing (specifically performance).  I've been reading the rumor that SP1 would be released on February 15th.  This is good given the amount of issues we've had.

Now today I read that while it's done and being released to manufacturing today, they aren't going to release it to the public until sometime in March.  What?  Why on earth would they do this.  They've got fixes ready to go, no more testing, no more changes but they are going to purposely delay the release until March.  This is ridiculous.  If it's ready it's ready - POST IT.  I can understand if they only posted it for tech professionals or to MSDN and didn't push it through Windows Update but they aren't even doing this.

Microsoft you just keep making this hard on me and this time for no good reason (or none that I can see).  Why am I even having to think about this, it should just be out.  And it better rock.  I guess if it doesn't I'll just upgrade everyone back to Windows XP...
