 Over the past couple of days, I have been busy going over the bug fixes included in Windows Vista Service Pack 1. To my amazement Windows Vista Service Pack includes a total of 551 bug fixes, although, that is not really something to be shocked over.
When you consider that Windows XP service pack 1 (delivered in September 2002) about 14 months after the original RTM date; its list of fixes included 24 security bulletins and 297 hotfixes. While Windows XP Service pack 2 covered a longer period of time, but still, its list of fixes was staggering, with 60 security bulletins and an astonishing 666 fixes.
Naturally, that is not a fair comparison between the first service packs for bot XP and Vista, you will need to exclude a few fixes from the Vista list. For example, back in 2002, XP media center did not yet exist yet, nor did tablet PCs, Windows Sidebar Gadgets, or the .net framework, just to name a few that collectively include more than 60 fixes in Windows Vista SP1.
