Microsoft Windows Vista Hotfix Updates Leaked: Is it SP1?

Many signifiant and reliable technology websites have all posted prerelease versions of what seems to be a Windows Vista Service Pack, aiding computers, essentially making them more secure and less prone to error messages.
According to the text from Microsoft that accompanies the software, it “resolves a number of individual issues which may be affecting some computers running Windows Vista.”
The pack seems to offer many things that disappointingly should have been fixed prior to its release. These include improved performance in returning to the desktop from Vista’s Photo and Windows Energy screen savers; resolution of an issue that causes Vista to corrupt some AVI files; and faster restoration of the login screen when resuming from hibernate.
The second file, regarding ‘Vista Compatibility and Reliability’ that came to our attention boasts a number of fixes that includes improved visual appearance of games, better networking reliability and impressively, sharper HD-DVD and Blu-Ray playback too.
Of course, Microsoft denies all theories relating to this leakage of their SP1, even though sources say that SP1 is confirmed to be coming out later this year.
Personally, I feel that it a case of too little too late. Microsoft better start treating their customers with more respect instead of releasing ridiculous updates that really should have been standard on their Windows Vista operating system. Do you agree?

Windows Service Pack 1 is about to come out. I havent had any real problems with Vista yet except for a few games, which I was able to get going with some tweaks. Hopefully the patch will fix some issues with the gaming. Auto disabling of Aero would be nice. So if you go into a 3D program or game it auto-disables Aero, that would be cool.
