Microsoft Pulls Vista SP1 Update
1shooter writes "news.com reports that Microsoft is withdrawing SP1 for Vista. Nick White, Microsoft product manager blogged 'We've heard a few reports about problems customers may be experiencing as a result of KB937287,' wrote White. 'Immediately after receiving reports of this error, we made the decision to temporarily suspend automatic distribution of the update to avoid further customer impact while we investigate possible causes.'"

...and videotape his unedited response?
Could some please inform Dave Chapelle of this person's name?
You can't talk about Wikipedia's flaws on Wikipedia
If they imagine Vista to be a horrible cancer, and SP1 to be chemotheraphy, then this all seems better. Sure, it's going to make some sick and die, but for a few, it's going to be a cure for their problems. I say let it out and let people take their chances.

Gee.
Gosh.
What a surprise.
My brother just bought a Vista machine after I specifically told him *not* to buy Vista, but to get an XP machine instead. Of course he insisted he HAS to have the newest thing (never mind that new often equals buggy). But does he listen to his engineer brother's expertise??? No because he's a truck driver, and of course a truck driver knows better than an engineer, because truck drivers use computers all the time, and.....
Ahem.
Anyway. I swear his vista machine with 3 gigahertz processor runs *slower* than my 0.4 gigahertz laptop with Windows 98!
Win98 > Vista in speed?
Sad. Vista's a kludge.
I'll stick with XP thank you.
XP is not perfect, but runs a lot faster than Vista ever will. So Vista's Service Pack 1 caused problems for users? Gee. Shocking.
The government is not your daddy. Its purpose is not to raid middle-class neighbors' wallets and give it to you.
For a couple of months two years ago, I was troubled by a noise that my XP laptop would make.... sometimes. Shuuck-Shuuck. Like a slow camera shutter.
I searched my system and google in vain of finding what this was.
Then one day I had the search window open and sitting on top of the desktop and I looked at it at just the right time. There was the answer.
