【Vista之家译】通过Windows Vista 更新可以提前下载SP1

    自从Vista发布以后，SP1的发布日期被用户所一直关注，虽然微软已经淡化了Vista的补丁包好几个月了，并将Vista定位在“高品质”上，但是从企业用户和个人用户看来，发放Vista的补丁包是Windows Vista走向成熟的阶梯。

    微软向一些用户发布了SP1的测试版，但是我们可以在windows的更新上“欺骗”微软并且也参与到此次测试中来。CyberNet报道说，一个简单的更改设置可以将SP1展现在用户的电脑上，安装测试版，会有“评估”的字样在屏幕上，虽然有方法可以去除该水印，但是我们不建议这样做，因为主要的系统服务组件仍然处于测试阶段，它的存在或许有用。作为预览，任何人可以下载安装Vista作为测试系统。

Windows Update spoof allows early download of Vista SP1

Ever since Vista was released, there has been discussion of when Microsoft would deliver SP1, and whether or not that delivery would be a significant milestone in the OS's development. Microsoft has downplayed the importance of Vista service packs for months, arguing that Vista is "high quality right out of the gate," but in the eyes of many businesses and consumers, the release of an operating system's first service pack is the point at which the product begins to shift from "early release" to "mature product."

Microsoft has released Vista's SP1 to a group of select beta testers, but a Windows Update spoof has been discovered that allows any user to unofficially "join" that group. CyberNet News reports (via Ghacks) that a simple registry change will display Windows Vista SP1 as an available update ready for download. Installation of the beta will place an "Evaluation" watermark on the screen, but Ghacks has information on removing this as well. We don't recommend doing this on your main system—the service pack is still in beta, after all—but it's potentially useful as an early preview tool for anyone who can load Vista on a secondary system or test rig.
