Microsoft might choose not to tell its enthusiasts anything about Windows Vista Service Pack 1, but they cant afford to keep it a secret to the development community. For the same reasons some argue SP1 is the Holy Grail for Windows Vista, a newer kernel means changes to a very significant component of an operating system. However this is a significantly minor update to the kernel compared to what was endured just months ago, APIs have already been added, changed and even obsoleted.
Since Microsoft wouldnt publish any documentation of their own for the time being, here is a list Ive compiled from the MSDN Library of all the changes taking effect in Vista SP1 published to-date. Whilst most of these documentation wont make sense for non-developers (myself included), think of it like reading a foreign-language newspaper - find all the proper nouns then make up the story.
