NRT-0242 Windows VISTA SP1-beta:

Sources close to Microsoft said it could release a beta of the first service pack for Windows VISTA any day, with a final release by November. Microsoft has been mum about exactly what will be included in Windows VISTA SP1, a rollup of updates for the OS, many of which are pushed out automatically through its web-based update services. The company also has not said when the software will be in final release, with the latest from the company revealing only that a beta will be out sometime before the end of the year. The WinBeta.org blog reported in a recent post that Microsoft's Windows Driver Kit (WDK) team sent out an email to beta testers that a new build of the WDK was being released to them to coincide "with the recent OS beta release for VISTA SP1 Preview," hinting that SP1 beta is soon to be sent to testers.
