You have better sources than I do. I hope you are right. I can't see such a
thing not being fixed but then I can't see it waiting so long either.
Sounds more encouraging than what I saw :-)

I don't think anyone has publicized a comprehensive "defects
repaired" list as of yet. The fellow who told me that the
runtime 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.

From The Lockergnome newsletter this talk about SP1 says nothing
that makes me think that our problems with the display
management will be fixed!
The beta will be released to a moderate-sized audience in a few
weeks.
With SP1, Windows Vista can boot via EFI (Extensible Firmware
Interface) on an x64 machine
SP1 supports ExFAT, a new file format that will be used in flash
memory storage and consumer devices
Support for SD Advanced DMA Support to improve transfer performance
and decrease CPU utilization is part of SP1
SP1 includes a series of new APIs and software features to enable
3D application and game developers to make more complete and
efficient use of the upcoming generation of graphics Direct3D
10.1 hardware
Windows Vista SP1 includes SSTP (Secure Sockets Tunnel Protocol), a
remote access VPN tunneling protocol that will be part of
Microsoft?? ??????s RRAS (Routing and Remote Access Service)
platform. SSTP helps provide full-network VPN remote access
connections without some of the challenges that other VPN
tunnels face traversing NAT, web proxies, and firewalls
With Windows Vista SP1, BitLocker Drive Encryption has been
enhanced to not only fully encrypt the entire Windows Vista
volume but also any or all additional locally created data volumes.
(Customers can now not only fully encrypt C: but also D: and E:)
Network Diagnostics in Windows Vista SP1 will help users with the
most common file sharing problems, in addition to basic
problems already supported
SP1 includes an update to Disk Defragmenter so administrators can
control on which volumes the disk defragmenter runs
Windows Vista SP1 does not include new drivers. Rather, new drivers
are delivered to users via Windows Update or directly from
the driver vendor.
Microsoft currently expects to deliver SP1 during the first quarter
of 2008, but will collect customer feedback from the upcoming
beta process before setting a final date.
Windows Vista SP1 is designed to not significantly change the UI or
to cause regressions in application compatibility.
SP1 is going to be released in two waves. The initial release of
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.
