Microsoft may have released a beta of Vista's Service Pack 1 - but according to the company's official support site, the operating system is absolutely flawless.

We can only draw one of two conclusions: either Microsoft's support staff have sloppily forgotten to add Vista to the online support forms, or else they truly believe the operating system is invincible.
Although judging by the complaints that regularly fill our inbox, the latter seems decidedly unlikely.
