While some customers are clamoring for Windows Vista Service Pack (SP) 1 and XP SP3, others aren’t going to rush out and install an update without testing it first.

The blocking tool which also will prevent the installation via Windows Update of serice packs for Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP — is available now via the Microsoft Download site.

The tool only blocks the SP updates for a set period of time:
The tool will block Vista SP1 for 12 months following its general availability (in Q1 2008).
It will block XP SP3 for 12 months following its general availability (some time in the first half of 2008),
And Windows Server 2003 SP2 through March 2008.
