Vista SP1 oh no...

Microsoft pulls Vista update

AFTER AN UPDATE to Vista sent some PCs bananas, Microsoft pulled it,

although it hasn't yet produced code to fix those bananas PCs.

 

"Immediately after receiving reports of this error, we made the decision

to temporarily suspend automatic distribution of the update to avoid

further customer impact while we investigate possible causes," said

Volish Vista bogger Nick White, yesterday.

 

White said the bananas PCs belonged to "a small number of customers in

unique circumstances".

 

He added: "We are working to identify possible solutions and will make

the update available again shortly after we address the issue."

 

The update number 937287 is designed as a prelude to Vista Service Pack

1 (SP1). Unfortunately, it sent some PCs into an eternal cycle of

reboots that only ceased when the plug was pulled.

 

Whether the balls-up will delay SP1 is unclear. You'd have to say it

doesn't look good, however. µ

No Problems Here, Just FYI. I Guess That I Am Lucky That My MSDN Copy Of

Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Installed Just Fine On My 2 Computer's With Out

Any Problems Whatsoever, Just FYI.
