With Microsoft picking up the pace in both the development and marketing of Windows 7, it’s also finding itself moving ahead with the next amendment package for Vista not too long after the release of SP1.
In an early piece of news that we had expected to hear on Monday, Microsoft will release the first beta editions of Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista to private testers on Wednesday, October 29. Those testers will be among the first, according to a blog post from Windows 7 corporate VP Mike Nash this afternoon, to test burning data directly to Blu-ray Discs using only the Vista OS.
