>> What is included in the "upgrade"? McKiernan called out two features 

>> expected to be within Windows Vista SP1, neither is likely to excite 

>> consumers already on the fence about Windows Vista. One is an improvement 

>> to the BitLocker drive encryption system, available only in the 

>> Enterprise and Ultimate editions of Windows Vista. Under SP1, BitLocker 

>> will be able to encrypt multiple drive volumes; all drive volumes, that 

>> is, except for USB drives.

>> A second feature touted by Microsoft is support for emerging hardware and 

>> standards. Windows Vista SP1 will support Extensible Firmware Interface 

>> (EFI), Intel standard for the interface between software, the operating 

>> system and firmware, and Extended File Allocation Table (exFAT), a new 

>> Microsoft file system that may eliminate the need for defragmentation in 

>> the future.

>>

>> McKiernan categorized other expected changes within Windows Vista SP1 as:

>>

>> Security enhancements: There is nothing here that the desktop consumer 

>> will notice. Under the hood, Microsoft will provide more opportunities 

>> for third-party security vendors to communicate their product status with 

>> the Windows Security Center. In x64-bit editions, third-party security 

>> vendors can work with the kernel patch protection, a source of 

>> controversy last summer. Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) files will be 

>> signed. The Windows Pseudo-Random Number Generator will have Elliptical 

>> Curve Cryptography (ECC) added. And BitLocker will add multifactor 

>> authentication combining Trusted Platform Module (TPM) with a Startup key 

>> stored on a USB device, meaning that the startup key must match the 

>> hardware you are trying to use.

>>

>> Reliability enhancements: Microsoft has been analyzing crashes of Windows 

>> Vista reported by users and will be making improvements. In particular, 

>> more compatibility with newer graphics cards and printers; greater 

>> reliability with extended displays on a laptop, various networking 

>> scenarios, in systems that were upgraded from Windows XP, and when 

>> Windows Vista enters sleep or resumes from sleep.

>>

>> Performance enhancements: Microsoft says SP1 will offer performance 

>> boosts including the speed to copy and extract files, time to become 

>> active from Hibernate and Resume, CPU utilization within Internet 

>> Explorer 7 and CPU utilization in laptops, thereby reducing battery 

>> drain, and shortening the time when browsing network shares.

>>

>> None of these is a compelling reason to wait for Windows Vista SP1. Users 

>> who have automatic updates turned on will have a significantly shorter 

>> time when upgrading to Windows Vista SP1 than users who don't have it 

>> turned on or are planning to upgrade or purchase Windows Vista when SP1 

>> becomes available. That appears to be Microsoft's message with this 

>> release: The more you use Windows Vista, the better it gets. So why not 

>> get started today?

>>

>> In short, judging by what we've seen, don't expect SP1 to be the impetus 

>> to get you or your corporation to upgrade to Windows Vista.
