Apart from the traditional function of this type of pack, SP1 had to battle against the initial rejection that most users had towards Windows Vista.
It was launched in March 2008 only one year after the operating system was released.
Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is the first update pack for the successor of the XP operating system. This is called a Service Pack (SP), an executable file that compiles all the security updates that have appeared since the operating system or the last SP has appeared, adding improvements and sometimes new characteristics, that give the operating system a renewed feeling. During the working life of a version of one of its operating systems, Microsoft usually publishes one or more update packs to solve the errors they find during its use, security vulnerabilities, stability problems, and performance errors.
