Intel spills the beans on Vista service pack release date

Windows Vista UltimateWith Windows Vista barely out the door, Microsoft's been quiet about when the company will issue its first major update for the operating system.

But someone forgot to send the memo to Intel CEO Paul Otellini, who made some comments regarding Vista Service Pace 1 during a financial presentation this week. Responding to a question about how enterprise users have been slow to adopt Vista, Otellini said he expected that to change when Microsoft release an operating system update in the fourth quarter of 2007, "probably in the October-November time frame."

Officially, Microsoft says it's still too early to put a date on the release. Does that mean Otellini leaked some information that he shouldn't have? Or was he just stating his assumption that Service Pack 1 would be available later this year. Either way, we're going to assume Otellini's educated guess is a heck of a lot more educated than ours.

I don't want to spoil it or anything, but "Let's go kick some proprietary ass" is one quote I'm unlikely to forget any time soon.

[Thanks (I think), Matt!]

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
