What Vista SP1 Means To You
An anonymous reader writes "Geek.com has an interview with Nick White, Microsoft's Vista Product Manager, covering the upcoming release of Vista SP1. The interview goes over some of the new features, how the change will affect admins, and how Microsoft decides if a change should be rolled out as an update or as part of the service pack. One of the most interesting questions asks whether people should feel that they have to wait until SP1 to upgrade to the operating system, a common practice with Windows users. White writes off this practice as no longer being necessary and notes how Windows Update has lessened the importance of the release of a service pack. Just the same, a News.com article explores the possibility that this update will finally begin driving users to Vista."
After flirting with Ubuntu on my laptop for about a year, and using Vista at home on my desktop for about 6 months I've had it, and I'll be switching the desktop to Linux as soon as I get some spare time.
Didn't I just read in the Slashdot Vista news earlier "The service pack is said to improve performance and stability, not to add features."
M$ often gives out contradictory statements. Their business model is as new feature free as Windoze itself.
DMCA, Hollings, Palladium. What might have sounded like paranoia is now common sense.
What? This is an abomination! How did this get modded up?! Did the moderator actually read the comment? I guess he must've missed the part where the parent said windoze is better than Mac OSX! Flamebait! Troll! Offtopic! Redundant! :)
You know, there is a difference between trolling and pointing out the flaws in your reasoning. Just saying.
