Re: Vista SP1 Reports
No problems so far. I didn't do a clean install, but upgraded from the existing Vista release. Machine is a Dell Precision 370. Download was very fast, installation took about an hour from start to being back on a useable desktop. Everything seems to be working correctly so far.

RE: Vista SP1 Reports
On a 2 year old laptop it took 2+ hours to install (went to bed and left it). The main difference is the graphics on it (old nx8220) now rates at 3.8. No other differences although it does start up faster. On some dell desktops there is still no aero support, but they do feel a bit faster. The embedded boxes get updated next. Mike From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 February 2008 14:08 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Vista SP1 Reports All went well with my desktop-that's the third machine I've done SP1 on, and all three machines were significantly different from one another. So I feel pretty good about SP1 so far in terms of stability, but it's too early for me to comment on performance. The only glitch with my home desktop update was that after SP1 was installed, Vista was routing all audio output through the wrong device. I had to go into the sound settings and configure it to use my speakers. That was kind of weird, and is a problem that would stump the average user.

RE: Vista SP1 Reports
Okay so I am setting my .50 cal aside and I am about to transfer the SP1 to my home machine and see if it greatly increases the performance in Vista. With all the good reports, and some of my friends that absolutely hated Vista have now told me after they patched their test labs and home machines; now are telling me to give it a go and that everything they hated about it is virtually gone.

I believe that SP1 resets some of your application usage info, so it takes a little while for SuperFetch to rebuild its profile of files/apps that you use.

RE: Vista SP1 Reports
I have set aside my .50 cal for now, the performance increases in Vista are significant enough with just 1 GB ram in my machine to give MS props for getting Vista SP1 where it should have been in release. Update took just under an hour. AMD x64 3000, 1 gig ram The GUI is much snappier, especially when doing multiple switching between windows etc. Programs load quicker Network transfers are like they should be, fast and without hesitation I have not had any problems with programs that I use thus far after the update. I am going to put my 2 GB back in and see how much happier it is. Have not retired the old .50 cal but I don't think it will see any action in the next few days anyway.
