It looks like the beta version of Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista will be released in the next few weeks to obliging volunteers and manufacturers. It’s not going to be on the same scale as the infamous Service Pack 2 for Windows XP, which included some major security upgrades and replaced large chunks of the operating system, but it is still fairly large, at a little over 45Mb, it covers quite a lot of ground and we are assured, will fix a few niggling problems.
What we know so far is that it will include support for a new file format called ExFAT, which is designed for use with flash memory devices. There will also be support for SD Advanced DMA, for faster file transfer and reduced CPU workload. Read More»

Jason Well, it’s finally here and the official launch of the UK edition of Windows Vista yesterday in London proved to be a somewhat surreal event, peppered with appearances by Bill Gates and a turn from the band The Feeling (for no good reason that I could see…). Anyway, it was held at the British Library and Vista’s many and various features were ably demonstrated. I won’t bore you with the details of the new operating system, regular visitors will already have a pretty good idea of what it is all about and the media is bound to be stuffed with Vista stories, but one part of the launch that may not get the coverage it deserves was the simultaneous launch of Turning The Pages 2.0.

Microsoft Windows XP doesn’t offer much in the way of built-in tools for organizing your collection of digital and scanned photographs. Sure, you can launch the anemic Windows Picture and Fax Viewer and page through your images—but if you want to edit one of them, you’re dropped unceremoniĂ‚Âously into Windows Paint. There’s no way to tag or caption your images so you can easily find them later, and watching a slide show in Win XP isn’t much more engaging than turning the pages in a photo album.
