+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted February 7, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted February 7, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc2003 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 ^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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I would rather install it over my current system now and install the integrated SP build next time i am doing a fresh install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted February 7, 2008 Veteran Share Posted February 7, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!
