Microsoft issues Vista, XP service pack blockers

Microsoft Corp. posted a tool to its download site today that will block automatic installations of several upcoming service packs, including Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows XP SP3.

I think this is a great idea, especially for those that are waiting impatiently for the Vista SP-1 and XP SP3. Better not install any Service Pack before it's time. Vista SP1, which enters public testing Tuesday, is scheduled to wrap up in the first quarter of 2008. Windows XP SP3, on the other hand, has a delivery date of sometime in the first half of next year. Patience!
