The real reason why Vista SP1 is not released today

Windows Vista SP1 copying

Unfortunately when they tried to apply the service pack to the computer to fix the network file copying performance, it prompted them it cannot due to faulty driver installations.

    hey Long Zheng pls

    Italy+sp1=RED

    I Wont comprise the position than Microsoft regarding Italian user.
    Yesterday Mike Nash it has been announced Vista SP1 RTM to March for English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese.
    Since Italian we are still a enough valid country special way regarding Spain and France, possible that we have been puttinges from part?
    considering that sp1 it is multilenguage in order which reason you have discarded to us?
    I write to name of all Italian mine comunity I assure and you that we are in that we offer support for those which the persons are our acquaintances to all who have adopted Vista (but also xp)
    I make you this appeal in order to at least receive SP1 with to France, Spain, England and German its Possible ???
    We cannot be puttinges to an equal level to the Teleban
