"RED-FACED executives at Microsoft have sheepishly explained that the reason that they have pulled Vista SP1 from distribution is because it reacts badly with some important third party applications."Can we get a source on that as nothing is mentioned in the original article?
"I pulled it out of my own arse for the lulz and page hits" will be accepted as a response.

App woes
My zboard z-engine also completely fails to load under the RTM SP1. It worked fine under most previous pre-releases so perhaps MS changed something last minute that is conflicting with certain 3rd party apps?Ultimately this either boils down to a lacklustre communication to 3rd party developers from MS about the SP1 updates OR 3rd party developers not getting their asses in gear and coding their products correctly for Vista.
Does anybody actually read anymore?
From the original article:""For reliability reasons, Microsoft blocks these programs from starting after you install Windows Vista SP1," according to the article, which notes this step was taken with the consent of the affected vendors."
