Microsoft says businesses needn't bother waiting for SP1's final release to test new applications on Vista, because the results won't change much.

Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) is warning customers that the soon-to-be released service pack for its Windows Vista operating system won't fix the application capability issues that have plagued the software since its release in January.

"Applications that have compatibility issues with Windows Vista today will most likely continue to have the same issues with Windows Vista with SP1," Microsoft warns in a new whitepaper on Vista Service Pack 1.

As a result, Microsoft says businesses needn't bother waiting for SP1's final release -- slated for early next year -- to test new applications on Vista, because the results won't change much.

"Microsoft recommends that all enterprise customers begin testing their applications on the currently available version of Windows Vista," the company said.

Many users were likely hoping for more.
