Graphics cards will be required to support DirectX 10.1. In June 2007, Google claimed that the changes being introduced for Service Pack 1 "are a step in the right direction, but they should be improved further to give consumers greater access to alternate desktop search providers."The other area of note is a set of new security APIs being introduced for the benefit of antivirus software that currently relies on the unsupported practice of patching the kernel.Īn update to DirectX 10, named DirectX 10.1, makes mandatory several features which were previously optional in Direct3D 10 hardware.

Two areas have seen changes in Service Pack 1 that have come as the result of concerns from software vendors. Booting a system using Extensible Firmware Interface on 圆4 systems is also being introduced this feature had originally been slated for the initial release of Vista but was delayed due to a lack of compatible hardware at the time.
Service Pack 1 introduces support for some new hardware and software standards, notably the exFAT file system, 802.11n wireless networking, IPv6 over VPN connections, and the Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol.
