Windows Vista Service Pack 1 RTM x86 leaked


Recommended Posts

If it really did RTM today, it'll leak today or tomorrow.

I think there's some smoke and mirrors rubbish going on MajinDark, Microsoft tells us VistaSP1 is done. Then delays release until March. Seems to me like it's not really RTM at all.

...."Our beta testing identified an

issue with a small set of device drivers. These drivers do not

follow our guidelines for driver installation and as a result, some

beta participants who were using Windows Vista and updated to

Service Pack 1 reported issues with these devices. Because the

issue was with the way the drivers were installed and not the

drivers themselves, the solution was simply to reinstall the

drivers. While this worked fine for our more technical beta

testers, we want to deliver a better experience for customers as we

make the update broadly available."

That statement seems to be to say... 'We're not done yet, Vista SP1 isn't really Final.' :rofl:

Just can't get Vista right can they. Once again the release of Windows Vista is based on a shipping schedule not quality. (N)

Thanks for testing it KoDeXeRo, I was going to check that download out. :/

I think this is funny, but true...

Is there a reason for the waiting time til mid-march?

When it's ready - release it.

When it's not ready - delay it.

I can't see really the benefit of an RTM Version of SP1 when I can't have it.

This release is making Vista SP1 look bad right out of the gates...

is this linky the SP1 of Vista??

Dont think so but the build name of that file for the automated installations is the same build that i am already running (see my other post).....

Does this mean the rtm really was leaked?

Is this the RTM build?

i assume you found and installed the same file that i did last week. that's also the same version mine reports.

yet the details/timestamp on the .exe i have are the same as the one that KoDeXeRo posted. :p

Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008

No, it's the automated installation kit for SP1.

... and what exactly is an Automated Installation Kit as compared to the 'regular SP1?

yea but once unpacked its 6001.longhorn_rtm.080118-1840 and the unpacked setup files are build 6.0.6001.18000, so it's note fake.

If you think you have the final SP1, then do us a favor : forward your clock a year and tell us if you can still boot up.

What? Don't want to? But you SAID you had RTM!!

Yeah, didn't think so.

works just fine......... i dont see the problem u were expecting. the time bomb was removed from refresh two onwards.

Then you have the wrong one!

really? like i said, my file details match the one KoDeXeRo posted........ but once it's installed, it matches the build in your screenshot.....

Actually you're comparing two different files. spinstall.exe shows the 18000 version number, but the other poster has shown properties from the standalone installer which shows 17028 in the properties. The standalone installer I have here shows 17028 in properties, but when you launch the installer and check spinstall.exe in the temp files, it shows 18000 :) It's likely that 17028 is totally legit.

The timebomb was removed from the last refresh, so if it's fake I bet they used the last refresh. So I don't see what that is going to prove.

Yeah your right..... but why does the properties of the exe change? I huess ultimately we are all wasting our time here! It doesnt really matter what build we have... no amount of sitting here and speculating will change that we have to wait till march to really find out!

do you think we can assume that because the leaked build matches the server 2008 build number exaclty we can assume we are using SP1 RTM?

loads of people have posted about this today as if it's a fact...... but with no source to back it up. i guess we'll just have to wait. :p

    • Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method by Taras Buria Pete Batard, the maker of Rufus, a very popular app for creating bootable Windows (and other OS) media, has released a new beta version of its app. Rufus 4.15 beta is now out, and while it offers no new features, there are all sorts of improvements and fixes, including for the new Windows 11 installation method that was introduced in version 4.14 in early May. The "Silent Windows 11 installation" is a new feature whose goal is to automate operating system installation. All you have to do is boot from the drive, and then Rufus takes over, doing all things for you, such as setting up a new account, skipping ads and prompts, and more. It is a very handy tool, but initially, it had some bugs and issues that required addressing. With version 4.15 beta, Rufus is fixing that, particularly a bug with installation failing at 75%, crashes on Snapdragon X-based PCs, and more. Here is the changelog: Rufus 4.15 beta is now available for download from its GitHub repository. If you have never used Rufus before, you can check out our guide here. It is a very useful utility to have, as it allows you to deal with plenty of Windows 11's annoyances, which are still there, despite Microsoft's ongoing efforts to fix them.
    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.
    • Imagine you still haven't discovered Total Commander that is doing all those things for three decades already...
    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
