Windows Vista SP1 Release Candidate (RC) Public


Recommended Posts

Will the final SP1 be slipstreamable with the Vista DVD?

I'm sure it will be as MS has to slipstream it somehow... You'll just have to download the standalone package I'm sure.

Well, I am running the RC and so far I see no problems.....no improvements either though. One thing I did notice is that one of my Ultimate "Extras" is now installed: Dreamscene (i think that is what it was called) is no longer listed as an available update. Only the BitLocker and Hold Em are available to install (I never installed them).

Noticed that too, but cant find dreamscene listed under wallpaper changes. Wierd...Where is Poirot?

any changes anybody see when installed sp1?

Nothing too obvious other than the improved a bit backup and restore center, exFAT filesystem support for external USB flash drives, and the VERY improved copy/move speed, well done MS (Y).

isn't that what sp's typically are, just a mass bundling of all the possible updates to that point?

What you said is a part of any service pack, but new features may be added as well, also some fixes that simply can't be released on Windows Update (Kernel updates, major file system changes, etc).

I've tried 3 different sound cards one of which being an audigy SE and I guess other people hare having the same issue

Make sure your chipset drivers are installed properly..this happened to me and that fixed it.

ya I installed the latest one of those too, last ones released was the July 2nd for the Nforce 430

which sucks, because I wanted to buy myself a podcasting USB microphone for Xmas, but doesn't do much good if the audio skips

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
