So I did the clean install of Vista SP1 Refresh.

+Seems faster

+4GB RAM now detected in 32-bit version

+No chattering Hard Disk after install

+So far all software installed, including NOD32 Version 3.0.621.0

+Explorer tasks very quick, noticably faster than RTM

-Real usable RAM still 3.32GB

That's it for now.

Thanks for the review :)

can u post the link for the info page, not just the exe link as i want to read up abou ###### first

EDIT: that KB number (KB936330) according to microsoft is dated in 2007, there is no KB936330 dated yesterday from what i can find

This could be it since the public RC weights around 436megs and wave1 weights 548megs. Anyway i'm d/ling this !

As you can see on this screen shot of the properties sheet of the exe linked to it is not the same build as what people are saying is on connect and the timestamp also says 30th novemeber........

It's the original one. Look here.

Yes but we are talking about the sizes of the standalone packages.... and these are different!

so the wave 1 is the most recent one then? cool im downloading now

im guessing i have to uninstall the one SP1 first

Dont bother because wave 1 and wave 0 both carry the same build numbers.... i just downloaded and checked. Bit wierd but i suppose this was all an understanding. neonerds is a good site for more information tho ............ :shiftyninja:

ohh well i just uninstall the old service pack LOL, might as well install it again now LOL

strange though im pack to normal vista and the desktop is showing its a evauation copy, but when i go into system prop's its telling me that windwos is activted (and yes im an genuine (MSDN code ligit)

^^

I got a french system and used wave 0 . But in order to stop everyone : THIS IS NOT THE RC REFRESH (build version is still .668 ) !! So don't waste your time d/l and installing wave 1.

IIRC you'll need to reboot again after you uninstall the SP to remove the "Evaluation Copy" from your Desktop.

There appears to be no desktop reminder on the refresh, and no expiry date!

Just rebooted and the reminder and expiry date reappeared!!

Managed to get it installed. Decided not to go the clean install route but instead went through and uninstalled the old version then installed this version. Whole process took 4 hours but surprisingly didnt break anything. Everything seems to be working well but having used the public release for so long now i cant actually see any differences between that one and this 'new' refresh!

Anyone else found any differences?

    • I do not remember anything happening to Apple and Google for bribing people not to make Apps for Windows Phone. Edge barley has a foot print to matter. If the other browser companies want more of the Pie, they need to do better. I use Brave on all my personal device. However in industry, Edge of default, as we can manage it easier with MS tools.
    • On the one hand, it shouldn't be difficult. You buy a computer, you decide what OS you want, which browser etc. Simple enough. But that's the techie side of things. My sister, my mother, wouldn't bother with such a thought. And I'm pretty sure that if you presented a window asking them what to pick they would say, "I don't care! I just want to access my Email!"
