The following features will be included in Windows Vista Service Pack 1: 1. A collection of previously-released and new security fixes, bug fixes, and other minor updates. 2. An update to the Windows kernel to bring the Vista kernel (version 6.0) up to date with the version in Windows Server 2008 (version 6.1). 3. A change to the Kernel Patch Protection (“PatchGuard”) feature in the Vista kernel that prevents security companies like McAfee and Symantec from integrating as tightly with the OS as they could in previous Windows versions. This will include a set of APIs aimed at helping developers write code that interacts with this security feature. 4. A change to Vista’s Instant Search feature that will allow third party desktop search product makers to more closely integrate their products with Windows Vista. In the initial shipping version of Vista, the Instant Search indexer still runs at full speed even if a third party product is installed, reducing overall system performance.
