Dall'annuncio che ho ricevuto (e dopo la conferma che non fosse sotto NDA) si legge:
SP1 is going to be released in two waves. The initial release of SP1 will include 5 languages (English, French, Spanish, German, and Japanese). A Service Pack containing all 36 of the languages (including the original 5) will be released about 3 months later.
E inoltre:
For the first time ever, the “standalone” package includes every language that Windows is released in. This increases the size but adds the benefit that the same package can be used to apply SP1 on any Windows Vista computer in an organization, regardless of language.
Non ho ben capito cosa succede se uno ha la Ultimate in inglese e il Language Pack in italiano in attesa dell'uscita della versione globale-totale.
P.s. quando sarà rilasciato Vista SP1 finale?
We currently expect to deliver SP1 during the first quarter of 2008, but we will collect customer feedback from our upcoming beta process before setting a final date. Quality is our most important factor when determining availability.
The beta will be released to approximately 10-15K private testers that will not include TechNet subscribers, but MSDN and Technet subscribers will be able to participate in testing when the RC of Windows Vista SP1 is available. The timing of the RC will be based on feedback from the beta testers, and we’ll share more info as we have it.
Buona attesa...
