A compatibility issue has forced Microsoft to delay the release of new
service packs for Windows Vista and XP.
Windows Vista SP1 and XP SP3 have been pulled from the Windows Update utility
and the Microsoft Download Center until a fix can be issued.
A company spokesperson told
vnunet.com that the delay
is down to a compatibility issue with Microsoft's Dynamics RMS software, which
is used by small and medium-sized retailers to manage their business.
The spokesperson declined to comment on when the service packs would be
released again.
Microsoft is in the process of implementing a filter which will prevent
Dynamics RMS users from downloading the service packs while allowing all other
users to update their PCs. The company is also testing a fix for the issue.
News of the delay comes on the day that Microsoft had planned to release the
XP service pack, and just eight days after Microsoft sent the first versions of
the service pack to manufacturers. It also comes just five days after Vista SP1
was released.
Microsoft has advised all Dynamics RMS users running either of the service
pack updates to contact its Customer Support Services for more information.
