Feb 22 2008 - Microsoft pulls Vista SP1

Nick White, product manager for Microsoft, explains why Vista SP1 was pulled this last Wednesday on the Windows Vista News blog:

"We've heard a few reports about problems customers may be experiencing as a result of KB937287," wrote White. "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."

The issue apparently only affects a small number of customers. If you haven’t yet installed the service pack, please wait until it has been re-released.
