People whose PCs run the newest Microsoft operating system are able to visit Microsoft's Windows Update or Download Center Web sites and download the free Service Pack 1. Microsoft Corp. published a major package of updates and security fixes for the Windows Vista operating system for download starting Tuesday.
Microsoft announced that SP1 improves Vista's reliability, security and performance. Some early testers of the service pack have noticed improvement in performance when copying files over a network and playing video games that weren't designed for Vista. Microsoft said SP1 will block several applications from running for "reliability reasons." The list includes BitDefender Antivirus and Internet Security, version 10; Fujitsu's Shock Sensor hard drive protection for rugged laptops; two versions of Jiangmin KV Antivirus software and Check Point Technologies' Zone Alarm Security Suite.
The company said a few programs won't run on SP1, such as Web application design program Iron Speed Designer, while others will stop working well, like The New York Times Reader application.
