Vista SP1 a Performance Dud
,----[ Quote ]
| After extensive testing of both RTM and SP1-patched versions of Windows
| Vista, it seems clear that the hoped-for performance fixes that Microsoft has
| been hinting at never materialized. Vista + SP1 is no faster than Vista from
| the RTM image.
|
| Bottom Line: If you've been disappointed with the performance of Windows
| Vista to date, get used to it. SP1 is simply not the panacea that many
| predicted. In the end, it's Vista's architecture - not a lack of tuning or
| bug fixes - that makes it perform so poorly on systems that
| were "barn-burners" under Windows XP.

Vista isn’t Me2, it’s Win95 + 12 years

| Businesses will continue to stay away from Vista in droves. They have
| a perfectly acceptable alternative in Windows XP, and there’s little

Microsoft: No Rush to Vista SP1
,----[ Quote ]
| Those enterprises holding off Windows Vista deployments for Service Pack 1
| maybe shouldn't wait on Microsoft.The question: Should they deploy Vista or
| XP?
|
| Until today, the silence around SP1 was downright frightening. Other than
| responding to a Google legal complaint, Microsoft has been mum about SP1's
| delivery. Microsoft still is not saying when, but it is now saying the update
| isn't that important.

| The purpose of announcing early like this is to freeze the market at the
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| OEM and ISV level. In this respect it is JUST like the original Windows
| announcement ..
|
| One might worry that this will help Sun because we will just have
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| vaporware, that people will stop buying 486 machines, that we will have
| ^^^^^^^^^
| endorsed RISC but not delivered .. So, Scott, do you really think you
| can fight that avalanche?
