Then you're missing out on the improvements made to it that make it a better operating system than XP.

Oh yes, I forgot that it has UAC, and lower performance, and more memory usage, and less compatibility.

You're quite right, it is an improvement over XP. Am I missing out? Not likely.

We have a winner

Source???? Otherwise you're just sprouting bs.

UAC can be turned off and yes it is technically a more reliable and secure OS than Windows XP.

Windows Vista can perform well on good hardware. I think the best way to avoid problems with Windows Vista is to perform a clean install, then install Service Pack 1 directly after.

Then why are you even in this thread? If you love using that eXPired operating system so much, go do so. The rest of us will live here in the present, not 6 years in the past.

i'm stoked what sp1 will bring to my machine to be honest. i didn't really follow all the jibbajabba and will download, install and see what happens :)

I agree! From what I have seen in the release candidates I am very impressed with what an improvement SP1 contributes to Vista! I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will pop up on WU this week!

Thats what I want to do right there.

Is it to much to ask M$ to send all of us that bought Vista the day it came out a free copy of SP1 on DVD or CD?!!

Just kidding

I believe they do send disks with the service pack on. They did with SP2 for XP, anyway.

so did I miss something a while back? are they not including a new kernel or does windows server 2008 not have kernel 6.1? I could've sworn they were going to put kernel 6.1 in vista sp1 as srv 2008 is supposed to have it?? or am I way behind?

Is this the real thing Windows6.0-KB936330-wave0-X86.exe (436.3 MB), since it's named wave0 ?

as is listed on Windows Vista Service Pack 1 RC - 5 Language Standalone Package

(although the webpage mentions the RC-status?)

It does have the newer kernel, even if they don't have the same version number. Win2k8 has many other new things besides the kernel that gives it the 6.1 version number.

Anyways, you guys can just wait another day or few hours to get the RTM via WU or d/l the full exe.

It hit RTM today but I guess we won't see it until next month:

Here's the timing for SP1 availability for current Windows Vista users:

* In mid-March, we will release Windows Vista SP1 to Windows Update (in English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese) and to the download center on microsoft.com. Customers who visit Windows Update can choose to install Service Pack 1. If Windows Update determines that the system has one of the drivers we know to be problematic, then Windows Update will not offer SP1. Since we know that some customers may want to update to SP1 anyhow, the download center will allow anyone who wants to install SP1 to do so.

* In mid-April, we will begin delivering Windows Vista SP1 to Windows Vista customers who have chosen to have updates downloaded automatically. That said, any system that Windows Update determines has a driver known to not update successfully will not get SP1 automatically. As updates for these drivers become available, they will be installed automatically by Windows Update, which will unblock these systems from getting Service Pack 1. The result is that more and more systems will automatically get SP1, but only when we are confident they will have a good experience.

* The remaining languages will RTM in April.

Downloading the .exe is different from the WU info. you posted above. The .exe will be available weeks before it's available for automatic update.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.

      It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
