I'm interested in SP2, cause i'm skipping Windows 7. DX11, ie8, .NET 4.0 and WMP12 will be available for Vista and that's all what matters to me.

You know, I think I'd do the same thing. I'm more than content with Vista, because everything works for me on both my desktop and laptop.

I'll take the exact opposite of that! Vista is a complete POC for me and people I work with that got Vista Business preloaded on new Dell machines have more problems than those with XP Pro. Hell if they built the new Media Center into XP I'd downgrade to it on my home PC.

I believe OEM software is main cause of the problems. I'm not really sure how good OEM is with drivers. I have retail copy of Vista x64 Ultimate with SP1. Runs wonderful. Vista offers me everything i need, and additional SP2 along with DX11, IE8, WMP12 and .NET 4.0 ? Why do i need Windows 7? I'm glad Microsoft is looking for Vista support too, cause i paid $400 for Vista, and i have to justify it :)

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
