Vista SP1 packaging

1 October 2008

Went to the company store today to pick up a copy of Vista; I noticed that they’re now shipping SP1 of the packaging. It happens to contain SP1 of the product, but with an important bug fix.

Vista SP1 box

The package on the left is RTM; right is SP1. Right, they include instructions on how to open the dag nabbit box. The RTM package includes a large, round, clear, heavy-duty sticker that covers the left and right edge; you have to cut both sides and play IQ test to open the box. The SP1 box has an opaque, square, heavy-duty sticker that has a bright dotted red line on black background showing you where to cut. The corner shows you how to open it once cut. Much better.
