Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is targeted to be released in the first quarter of 2008.  Since the Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008 engineering efforts are aligned they are also targeting the first quarter of 2008 for their release date.

Here is an excerpt talking about what changes SP1 includes:

In addition to updates we’ve previously released, SP1 will contain changes focused on addressing specific reliability and performance issues we’ve identified via customer feedback, supporting new types of hardware, and adding support for several emerging standards.  SP1 also makes additional improvements to the IT administration experience.  We didn’t design SP1 as a vehicle for releasing new features; however, some existing components do gain enhanced functionality in SP1.
