images/news/vista.jpgAlthough it has downplayed Windows Vista Service Pack 1 as just a standard refresh, Microsoft in fact plans to combine 32-bit and 64-bit versions of its latest operating system. The Redmond Company is under an all out Windows Omerta, gagging all details related to the first service pack for Windows Vista, to Windows Seven or to Windows Fiji.
Marrying 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista on a single installer, Microsoft will be one step closer to Apple, as the Cupertino-based company will offer only 64-bit Leopard. The initiative is also designed to resolve the gap between 32-bit and 64-bit Vista. Microsoft does not currently permit upgrading or switching between x86 and x64 versions of the operating system. This will no longer be an issue after SP1. In addition, the move delivers a clue for the Redmond Company's plans with Windows Seven.
