This Service Pack does more then what microsoft was hinting that it did.
Also, the Vista start menu is still terrible. The search bar is great (really useful) but navigating All Programs is a nightmare.

Microsoft stated that the prerelease versions did not have all the fixes and updates that the final would have.
Use the classic start menu then.
The linked document did llist a couple of uac changes so lets hope the final sp1 fixes uac.
I'm sure the hacker community will be having fun trying to find a way around it.
I look at it like this....the harder it is, the less time they will be (if they do) releasing
trojans and other nonsense across the net.

Ummm... yah, they're the same people.
i know WoW has been working great since they fixed the patches
warcraft 1 and 2? good luck those are dos based games
warcraft 3 might work
But yea, they got other less severe typos as well. I hate how the don't capitalize Internet.

Really hurts professionalism? Who really cares? Someone put a 7 instead of 8! It doesn't even matter.

Actually, it really does, especially when it's a date header. Anyone who reads that line and is actually paying attention will notice the typo.
Any typo in a document from a huge company like MS is a huge typo. This isn't your public school newsletter.
Well yea, but Windows itself is also written by humans when you get right down to it. It's all about representing the company.
No, the typos aren't a big deal in terms of practicality, but it does bother me since I'm a bit of an idealist. You'd just expect better proofreading and management in a company like MS.
That will be much appreciated! It already exists in Server 2008. Of course, you should never end a sentence with a preposition...
They should have changed a default wallpaper, changed desktop icon, added a few screensavers and called this "Vista 1.1" and charged $$ for it. That's what a certain other company would do, no?
(and before someone tells me I have no idea what I am talking about, let me say that I do have a MacBook Pro at home)

Pretty cool though. Seems like my systems run much better with SP1 generally speaking, even on old hardware.
Version 6.0.6001 since release to MSDN a while back.
I still have (and always had) virtually no problems running any prog I have a mind to. An extremely small number of legacy apps have to run in compatibility mode. I am doing plenty of graphics-intensive work and gaming with dual widescreen monitors at high-res.
I am seeing a noticeable lack of lags in things that tended to before updating.
Browsing the network is faster - copying and moving files and folders is WAY faster.
BitLocker now works on drives OTHER than the boot drive.
There are other, more esoteric improvements but those are the biggies for me as it just flat works.
Bear in mind, I built my PC to run it last year - I did not expect my old P-III based machine to handle it.
It, however runs PCLinuxOS very nicely
