Windows Service Pack Blocker Tool Kit…
In recent times there have been issues relating to Automatic Windows Updates and the havoc some of these updates have had on some users XP and Vista systems.
Last weel Microsoft released Windows Service Pack Blocker Tool Kit (a small download of 96kb) which will allow users to temporarily prevent installation of service packs through Windows Update. [See the link below]. This toool kit will apply to both Windows XP Service Pack 3 and Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (each for 12 months following the general release of these two Service Packs). The Vista Service Pack is currently under restricted beta review and is due for release in the first quarter of 2008. It will be the first major update since Vista’s release in January this year. This toolkit gives users control over when they decide to download and install it and is recommended until more reviews become available.
The first Vista Service Pack will include the function of creating a recovery disk as well as defragment individual hard drives. Overall, it will include a lot of hidden tweaks that should result in a faster and more reliable system including a better performing Internet Explorer Web Browser.
