After news that the release of Windows Vista’s Service Pack 1 will slip into 2008, Microsoft is trying to convince it’s customers that they don’t need to wait that long. Vista is ready to go now, and they’ll tell you why, as long as you don’t tell anyone else.

Dan Warne at APCmag.com reports that a Microsoft newsletter includes information for a program that helps convince their users to proceed with confidence:

To help partners and customers get the real story, Microsoft has created a comprehensive set of fact-rich materials illustrating how Windows Vista is ready today and tomorrow.

What’s funny about this is that it requires a non-disclosure agreement just to read about why you should proceed with confidence. So in a nutshell, Microsoft is not ready to release SP1 due to the need to incorporate more anti-trust fixes, but don’t worry about SP1, Vista is fine just the way it is. They got it right the first time, and they are not just saying that because they want your money NOW!
