New Vista SP1 Code Leaks to Web

Paying customers may not get their hands on Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2008 for weeks, but pirates can download the brand-new code for either today, according to searches at several BitTorrent trackers.

The RTM, or release to manufacturing, versions of both operating systems can easily be found on BitTorrent tracker sites such as the Pirate Bay, which has made them available since yesterday.

I'm not going to the trouble of burning a disc, and erasing my hard drive files for a service pack.

TheIneffableBob6721d ago (Edited 6721d ago )

Windows service packs are .exes.
They work the same way as Windows updates, as that's what they basically are.

but if u read the article, thats not how the cracks/torrents are. thats what hes talking about

xplosneer6721d ago

Correct. To get the service pack on your computer and run it, you need to completely reinstall Vista. Thanks +Bubble.

Ji6722d ago

There is a standalone installer that is floating around, you do not need to reinstall vista, and is ~500meg :)

Chris_GTR16721d ago (Edited 6721d ago )

iNcRiMiNaTi6721d ago

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing64d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit64d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing64d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9264d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
