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

    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
