PC World Tests Final Version of Vista SP1

Posted by Zonk on from the could-be-worse dept.

Mac writes "PC World ran the final version of Windows Vista SP1 through a first set of tests last night. Here's the bottom line: 'File copying, one of the main performance-related complaints from Vista users, was significantly faster. But other tests showed little improvement and, in two tests, our experience was actually a little better without the service pack installed than with it.'"

    So the gist of TFM is that there's little if any change in Windows iCandy before and after installing SP1, and that copying files still takes much too long. Why bother?

    I so want to insert a Linux related pun here, but I actually can't think of one...

    I bet I am going to wake up at two am with the most witty and funniest slapdown of Vista imaginable... and by the time I get to posting, I'd have forgotten it again...

    think, Proby... THINK!
