Vista SP1 Coming In Q1 2008

Posted by kdawson on from the quicker-than-XP's dept.

Many readers sent in word of Microsoft's announcement of the schedule for Vista SP1. The Beskerming blog has a good summary. Up to 15,000 people will get access to a beta of SP1 by the end of September; general release is targeted (not promised in stone) for early 2008. The service pack is said to improve performance and stability, not to add features.

    Why the FUCK are my Slashdot RSS feeds not working in Firefox today? I went to all the trouble to download this Fireshit and now this garbage doesn't work. Typical open source crap. Back to Internet Explorer and the real internet for me. I'm done with this knock off wannabe firefox detritus.

    I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying that Vista was not ready for primetime when it was released. It's not the fact that SP1 is coming out that makes me say that, but the simple fact that it has some rather serious issues, and that another year would have been much more appropriate.

    Oh, and fuck those who mod me a troll. Stupid MS-loving wannabes. Go buy some ISO votes in Lithuania, and leave real technical guys to discuss the issues. You lying, no-good, pissing-in-the-swimming-pool shit fuckers.

    After 10 years of development, you'd think XP would work at least as well as 2K.

    After 13 years of development you would think w2k would work as well as NT

    After 16 years of development, you would think NT would work as well as VMS.

    Hmm, I think we've hit bedrock there. It's a shame people would ever use a non free OS that does not even work as well as other non free OS when they could just have a free one that works.

    It's called an upgrade to Linux or the MacOS for my laptop, so it will actually work and start up and shut down in under 30 seconds.

    You guys lost me on this one. I've owned Microsoft OS since DOS 1.0, have owned DOS 1.1, 2.0, 2.2, 3.0, 3.3, 4.0, 5.0, and so many flavors of Windows since 1.0 that it would take me a long time to list them.

    Sorry, count me out.
