Windows Vista Service Pack 1 RTM x86 leaked

[Raa]

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 :)

[ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm]

yea isn't DX 10.1 supposed to be included in sp1? btw, what ever happened to kernel 6.1?

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!

Or slipstreaming SP1 into the DVD :D

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.

[ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm]

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?

[kiddingguy]

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?)

[Maximum Error]

Nope - thats the RC version. Wave zero came out and then wave 1 with all the languages........

[George P Global Moderator]

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.

[xinary]

so today is the day huh?

[freeza]

hopefully!

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.

Well this is the first to do this. 99% of Microsoft's updates are released before they are on WU/MU.

screw it, i've installed the 6001_18000_080118_1840 build, so far so good, just tried out crysis, seems to run smoother in dx10.

[Ashenfall]

Vista SP1 RC Refresh 2 and Windows Server 2008 appear to have the same build number of 'v6001-18000-080118-1840' - make of that what you will...

[SMELTN]

what kills me is, why have we now pushed it back to March? I mean we were looking at a Feb release.. now March?

[NEVER85]

If it really did RTM today, it'll leak today or tomorrow.
