When Vista SP1 is released to the public in 2008, we’re inclined to recommend getting it. It’s a shame that Microsoft has taken a year to fix unforgivable bugs in Windows Vista – bugs that should never have been allowed in any publicly released product (we’re especially thinking of the file copy and indexing problems). In other words, Microsoft is trying to sell us fixes to their own failures under the guise of ‘improvements’. The ‘boost’ is really fixing Vista bugs and putting Vista on the same performance level as Windows XP. Take with a grain of salt the talk of performance improvements in Vista SP1, especially regarding file copying and network transfers. In particular the indexing service seems to have been vastly improved and doesn’t fall over when faced with more than a few documents or Outlook items. Office 2007 is also more reliable when running on the more stable operating system offered in Vista SP1. One of our test machines will now run for more than 12 hours without totally locking up and required a full reboot. In our test Vista SP1 is noticeably more stable than the version previously foisted on the public. While installing Vista SP1 isn’t always easy, the final result is worth the trouble. ![]() Anyone brave enough can now get the first release candidate from Microsoft.
