Windows Vista SP1 Beta

Microsoft has just released Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Beta yesterday. According to Nick White announcements, currently the beta sp1 is available only to a private group of Beta testers.

Here is the my highlights about SP1.

• Have a size range from 51MB – 679.6MB depending on how often you update your Windows
• Improve responsiveness – The delay between pressing CTRL-ALT-DELETE and getting the password prompt, resuming from Hibernation or Sleep are pretty much gone
• Search option has been removed from the Start menu, instead “Search Everywhere” with users can choose their favourite desktop search program such as Google Desktop.
• Select Volumes – a new option in Windows Vista’s Disk Defragmenter
• BitLocker Control Panel – users of Windows Vista Enterprise and Ultimate are now able to choose which drives to encrypt

After I have read about all new exciting features, I wish I am one of the private beta testers. Anyway, I’ll be eagerly waiting for the new SP1 to come out and surely I’ll install it as soon as it hits public.
