I don't think anyone has publicized a comprehensive "defects

defect would be fixed in SP1 is responsible for Vista's runtimes, and
was pretty embarrassed that such a defect had appeared in a shipping
version.

Windows Vista SP1 is designed to not significantly change the UI or
to cause regressions in application compatibility.

SP1 will include five languages (English, French, Spanish, German,
and Japanese). A Service Pack containing all 36 of the languages
(including the original five) will be released about three months
later.
