Windows Vista Service Pack 1 RTM x86 leaked


Recommended Posts

Good news...any noticeable differences from the RC's?

No idea, I didn't test any.

My experience is from Vista RTM to SP1 RTM - Although when I did use Vista RTM it was updated through windows update.

It's at a point now where I feel comfortable using it, and I WON'T be uninstalling and going back to XP like I've done about 10x's before - I WANTED to use it previously, but all it did was cause problems (slow copying/games performing poorer/ect).

Vlited a SP1 RTM ISO (2.87GB) down to 600mb.

Install minus bloatware* = Winner :)

* Please be aware I know my use of the word bloatware relates only to my situation - There is a ton of stuff in Vista I don't need/use but I know someone else could make fine use of. Well apart from UAC, that is a pain in the ass for everyone :p

^ah you're using the full iso.... i've downloaded it but haven't tested it yet. i'm still running on the standalone .exe that was floating about last week. all i've done is mounted it to check the build of setup.exe and it's legit. i assume the whole dvd is good if you're running it ok.

Yeah, when it comes to service packs I HATE the idea of installing it on an old installation, especially one that has been running for a while.

Formatting and reinstalling with the new service pack integrated is the ONLY way I'll do it (Y)

Amen brotha...

Once the "real" RTM comes out i'll format with SP1 integrated even if the one i have already installed is the final. I'll just do it again and be satisfied.

In theory I agree with you but it does seem like a lot of work.

I would rather install it over my current system now and install the integrated SP build next time i am doing a fresh install.

Alot of work? Seriously?

Install Vista = 22 minutes

Install Office = 5 minutes

Install ALL OTHER APPS - X minutes over time...

Total = 30 + X minutes

You can just install them on the fly really. You don't need Nero (or another burning app) right way. Your xvid codec to watch your pr0n i'm sure can wait unless it's MKV then install that sucker right away! LOL HD pr0n can't wait.

Anyways, I formatted my system 3 times in 1 week cuz i was playing around and screwed up but all my data is on another partition plus external drives. I started an install of Vista 1am before and that's cuz i knew i could get it done before i got super tired.

Does anybody here have a copy of Windows Server 2008? If so, go and view the contents of the DVD. Unfortunately I've left my disc in work or I'd tell you where to look. There's a setup file within a folder called 'spsetup' or similar. The information on the setup file says "Windows Vista Service Pack 1" - can anybody confirm what this is?

Any idea why my Start Menu's Search entry is now missing post SP1?

If anyone know's how to fix this with a regestry key hack, post it :)

Edit: Ah I believe this answers my question Microsoft KB Article

They're links with a combined character count of 130 :)

What's that supposed to mean?

Sorry if my post doesn't cut the mustard with you.

I was just trying to get an opinion on the validity of the article.

FYI: new = not noob necessarily

If that is all you have to say maybe you can post me a link to get a refund on my subscription?

Thank you to anybody else who would have an opinion.

Thank your buddy Google for filing lawsuits against Microsoft. They had to remove that in order to be compliant. Google says with that there people wont install Google Desktop so it's anti-competitive. Geeze! Not that i used it as i only searched in Explorer or the start search box at the bottom but geeze.

well, winsupersite is a good enough source of windows info but imho unless the iso shows up on msdn its not 100% confirmed.. just what I think

wth do you people want, official memo from Bill Gates? will that be proof enough?

    • For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
