Honestly, I'll wait until MS releases it on connect. That link needs to be reported or something. There's something hinky about it.

SP1 has been better than the final ed. Just still has bugs and uncomfortable aspects to it. I'd wait for a final release of SP1 if you are not an official MS beta tester. It simply isn't worth it.

The link tells you how to edit a file, thats all. It works fine, and tested fine.

If you don't want to run SP1 RC then pass on it. A lot of people would like the opportunity, and this way is legit and works fine.

Running it 3 days, no issues at all

Why do you want to report a link? People like you ruin it for everyone.

Can anyone report on how good this one is compared to the latest v.275 that's on the Microsoft Connect website? It takes FOREVER to uninstall it so hopefully someone whos tried both can tell me if it's worth installing this newer version. Thanks :)

You should always run the newest version of a SP1 Beta. It fixes things that were previously not working or not tweaked in previous versions.

Well that's the thing, I never had ANY problems with the older version and my system already felt so much snappier... If the latest version of SP1 didn't change all that much over the v.275, it'd be better to save me from the hassle of waiting forever for the thing to uninstall, install it again and just wait for the final...

i cant seem to download is there something special i have to do?

You follow the instructions?

There are 3 updates you need to DL off windows update (each one is seperate).

After downloading 1, reboot, rerun update, download next, reboot, etc. Finally after the 3rd, you'll see sp1 there

It's not on Connect yet. Meh. I'll just wait until it is. Thanks for the heads up anyway.

I dont think it will be on there anytime soon. Never is, they did the same thing before. Everyone known to man had a build by getting it from other sources and the testers are left without it.

i dunno about you guys but my fresh install (installed Sunday NOvember 11th) still feels faster than before. I haven't even had a chance to install all my software yet. So this was just installed and i installed the beta 1 day after so i can definitely say there's an improvement. Also some show stopper bugs in v.275 is the reason why i formatted back to RTM. NOw back on Beta and i love it so far :)

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.

      Fixing things? Have you ever tried linux? Everything works out of the box nowadays in most common hardware. This includes Wifi and Bluetooth. If anything, if they return back to windows is because they haven't found an equivalent program which often used on windows.
