images/news/vista.jpgNot a whole lot to say here, but if you're running Vista on an x64-based system, you've probably already noticed a little surprise courtesy of Windows Update, which today started pushing out the x64 edition of Vista Service Pack 1. If you've been following things in SP1 land, you'll notice that's actually ahead of the neat and tidy Windows Update launch for non-x64 systems, but behind the unofficial options already available. On the upside, that should mean that all the bugs have been ironed out, but you can never be too careful, so take all your usual pre-update precautions and let us know how it all works out in the comments below.

SP1 helps, but by no means 'fixes' Vista
I've found it to more stable with SP1, but it still drives me freaking crazy every time I boot it up

Soo, remove it

Care to explain why??? maybe we can help you... As of now.. my system boots a lot faster with SP1.

I am wondering if 1840 or refresh 2 is still "tagged" as rtm.

It's nothing I need "help" with (but thank you)
Vista is just bloated, cluttered, sends itself in unnecessary circles, lacs proper execution of many basic core functions that Personal Computing is all about
Not to mention
If I were on Vista ATM, I would most likely be asked if this is really what I meant to say, and then asked for permission, to let myself say it
(this wonderful feature is disabled, but does the average person gain some sense of security from it)
Vista more or less works as it was written to work, and that is what makes using it (for me) the most frustrating

Yup!........rid ones system of junk.

I'll keep it, it has it's own HDD, and my system is not bothered by it at all, unless I choose to boot it up
For better or worse, I seem to have a need to use it, just for the sake of knowing what it's all about

Could Vista be Female? I'll bet everyone here will agree running Vista is a love/hate relationship

Its pretty
Its lousy with drivers
Once a month it need maintenance
There is no off button
It has a hard time finding things
It doesnt let you do what your not supposed to do
Rates you a 5 even when you know your a 10
