It seems that Microsoft has already started working on SP3 for Windows Vista. Recently SP2 RTM for Vista was released and now its turn of SP3.

A new hotfix "KB957414" is available which is set to release for Vista SP3.

This hotfix fixes an issue where Event Viewer crashes when you open a large event log file and sort log entries by one column on a Windows Vista-based or Windows Server 2008-based computer.

To better understand the issue, consider following scenario:

  • You open a saved event log file in Event Viewer on a computer that runs Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.
  • The log file size is more than 2 megabytes.
  • You sort log entries by clicking the header of a column.

In this scenario, an exception occurs and Event Viewer crashes. This problem is more likely to occur when you click a column header multiple times in a quick succession.

Its quite interesting to see that Microsoft is going to release another service pack for Vista even though Windows 7 is almost ready to release.
