So will SP1 have the new file system along w/ all the other missing features? I just recall Microsoft promising it all in SP1... can anyone confirm or deny this? I just haven't been following Microsoft's doings too much lately...

Nothing much in the way of new features, its suppose to be more like a Win2k SP4 flavor. Rolled up security updates with a few minor fixes here and there. Nothing really ground breaking or impressive. I'm just waiting for the improved network transfers and unzipping of files. Unzipping a gig file with lots of individual files and folders it quite annoying regardless of what utility is used for the unzipping.
You mean the new filesystem Microsoft has been talking about for the last fifteen years? In other words, the filesystem which has been vaporware nearly twice as long as Duke Nukem Forever? Hmmm, let me think.
Short answer : SP1 is mainly performance fixes. Changes under the hood.
And nowhere did Microsoft promise a new file system in SP1 plus other features. I don't know where you get your sources, but it seems to me they intentionally misled users to spark the old "Microsoft 'promised' this, but didn't do it" into fanboys.
And it's not hard to Y! Search "Vista SP1" or look at it in Wikipedia.
michael, actually yes they did promise a new file system (WinFS)... then after years of bullshittery, they admitted that it wont make it in the Vista release; shortly after that they promised to include the new FS in SP1 (alongside most other features they cut during the development process)
