Vista SP1 Released to Manufacturing

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the help-is-on-the-way dept.

Reverend Ninja writes "According to the Windows Vista team blog, Windows Vista SP1 has been released to manufacturing. It appears we'll have to wait until mid-March to play with it though, as the team cites that they want everyone to have a 'great install experience'. 'Service Pack 1 brings new improvements that are based on feedback we heard from our customers. It further improves the reliability and performance of Windows Vista. The information we collect thanks to tools like the Customer Experience Improvement Program, Online Crash Analysis, and Windows Error Reporting help us learn about where and when customers are having issues with Windows Vista and the applications that run on it. Since these issues have a direct impact on our customers' experiences, we've invested time and energy to make this better. While Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is an important milestone, we will continue to invest in the continuous improvement process.'"

  1. 50% Faster? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ars Technica claims that file copies are now 50% faster in SP1.

    It should only take 65 and a half years, instead of 131, to copy 168 Mb of pictures now. What a great feature! :-)

    I always smear Crisco on my lover's asshole, because I want him to have a 'great install experience'.

    Windows Vista has "Support" for DRM, which means content creators such as music and movie makers can CHOOSE to use DRM... IF they want to. HOWEVER, there is no "DRM FORCE" on the user. Which means you CAN STILL use your downloaded mp3s and other files ( porn ) perfectly OK with Windows Vista.

    If you dislike DRM, don't buy from the content creators which put DRM in their content. That has nothing to do with an Operating System.

    Educate yourself.

    I always smear Crisco on my lover's asshole, because I want him to have a 'great install experience'. Have you had any major issues with Leopard? How's the iPhone working out?
