i thought i read that sp1 would not be slipstreamable? that wouldn't happen (publicly anyway) until sp2 for vista. there will be leaked images with sp1 integrated but from a home user point of view, the integrate switch won't work.

don't recall where i read that however.

Pretty sure you can do this with WAIK. (https://lb1.www.ms.akadns.net/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C7D4BC6D-15F3-4284-9123-679830D629F2&displaylang=en)

Really ntadeusz? I have not seen higher memory usage. How much memory does your PC have?

I have 2 GB memory. Before SP1 Refresh after boot memory usage was about 46% and now it is 50%. Performance is better and speed too.

Should be able to download the final image with sp1 included from microsoft legitimately. They've done this for SP1 testing.

Downloaded and installed the integrated SP1 Refresh DVD from Connect.

Everything working great so far after the format. No driver/software related issues of note. Performance is about the same as the initial RC. (Y)

Well after uninstalling previous sp1 and running the WU reg file I was able to install the V744 sp1 refresh from windows update. I must say it is a vast improvment over the previous sp1 releases and the initial Vista release. Great stuff MS, I love beta testing when its like this. The previous one give me so much bother to update taking me all the way through the updates nearly 3 hours only to be told sp1 was not installed correctly and would reinstall my previous settings taking another 3 hours! This one however installed no problems and give me an instant boost. looking forward to the final release.

Regards

Scoop :rolleyes:

One thing that I noticed about the refresh compared to rc1 is that If my pc was overclocked and i put it to Hybird sleep and tried to wake it it would not work and had to turn off the pc but with the refresh it works just fine, anyone that had this problem before try it now and post to see it works now

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
