Vista SP1 tips up
Amazon gives the game away
ALTHOUGH SPINVOLES refuse to confirm or deny the imminent arrival of Vista Service Pack One, those helpful folk at Amazon have spilled the beans by revealing that new orders for the OS will ship with SP1 included this week.
This ties in with Microsoft's earlier promise that SP1 would ship in mid March and suggests the patch will appear on Windows Update tomorrow (18th) as well. µ

Reading The Minds Through The Actions of Idiocy & Lunacy.
Humans indulge in all kinds of strict and licentious behaviours because they think that their minds cannot be read. Whilst that is true from the idiot’s or lunatic’s viewpoint/universe, the joke is, whatever cruelty or subtlety may be [or become], it has to do something. They are not tree-stumps, are they [though some may disagree], and that’s when they give the game up. Such is idiocy & lunacy. The fear of exposure is more frightening than being exposed.That monopolistic ogre that is Mr OS, with the weight of the monkey economics that only [ape-like] humans can devise behind them, namely Uncle Sammy’s excesses & indulgences, do not see the people who pay for their excesses as customers but as objects for manipulation. Does Amazon, say, ultimately pay for the product? No? So what’s all the Cat ‘N Mouse game in aid of? The sense of clubbing. Of belonging to something meaningful. A culture and in this instance, the culture of success which necessitates secrecy, “For we know what’s best for tree-stumps”. That’s what culture does when people’s minds are attached to their genitalia instead being managed by their brain.
Humans will be shocked into catatonia or suicide the day when they finally realised that their brain knows exactly what their minds are up to, every breathing and non-breathing moment and the brain of all that is living [as well as the state of the non-living] are connected/strung-together. Secrecy is about fear of exposure and exposure is about doing something that is devolutionary. Simplicity, which always eludes idiocy & lunacy. How so? Because the pinnacle of human intellect is an idiot and the pinnacle of human emotion is a lunatic, whatever the degree of affliction they may be in because, “We operate on a need-to-know basis” – which is only true when you are dealing with tree-stumps. One reason why when a human can bark in company, he can also howl in emptiness. When we walk into a cave and see a chair or a table, we know intelligence is at work but when idiocy or lunacy see’s that, one postulate’s about his own intelligence [i.e. how he can possess the power to relinquish his truth] whilst the other looks for the genius who made it [i.e. how he can relinquish his power to gain the truth]. Both do no realise that The Truth [The Potential to reflect] & The Power [The Kinesis of reflecting] is within him as his “Spirit/Father” and his “Resurrection Force/Mother”, which together with his Attention & The 5 Elements, make up his soul.
good
sp1 has worked well for me in the betahowever I did screw up the registry trying to tune it more...problem is it was late and i forgot everything I did...system restores didnot help
anyhow I was waiting for sp1 to come out before I reinstalled so this is good news,
it still runs fine...just cant open control panel
but can still run everything under it soo... inconvienent
Hopefully
MS will make it easy to shut down all of the unnecessary resource hogging stuff to make a lean DX10 platform, yup and pigs will fly too.Can't wait for SP2

XP SP1 was douser.
Wow, "Them" Tries for TS award. Great, Remember when Microsofts XP came out with SP1? Well thats because it didn't. YOU had to go to Microsofts' website & Download SP1 onto disc, no actual disc was available, then YOUR XP install Disc would state:"Insert SP1 XP Disc Now". Sometimes it didn't even recognize its own SP1. NO Disc, No XP, it was that Simple. No Brainer.Now We have to have Tree Stumps to Foster Thinking. Go Figure. Cherry Wood, Please? Our Majesty?
Thankfully Volish people at Microsoft have been Afeared to try such heady stunts again?

I had the RC candidate installed in my Vista pig, and jumped the gun removing the RC candidate seeing the gold version would soon be here. I was quickly reminded how much the service pack increased reliability, strange when you consider Microsoft says Vista is alleged to be the best ever in this regards. I went from Explorer crashes every week or two, back to one every day or so. On top of that, the endless disk thrashing on resume issue went from sporadic back to frequently happening again, oh how do I hate that one, reboot, or wait a long time for it to subside.Now for the good and the bad, and ugly, about Vista SP1. The good, it makes Vista, and apps that run on it a lot more stabile. The bad, it does little or nothing about the performance issues so many complain about in Vista. The Ugly, SP1 does nothing about Vistas vast appetite for resources.
One thing I should note, I have been a hard core Windows beta tester for ages, started back in the days of Windows 3.X. Vista was the first and only time I ever dropped out of beta testing a version of Windows, and it had nothing to do with not having a system powerful enough to run Vista with authority, for my beta test system had no issues keeping up with Vista. What threw me back, was watching Vista eat resources far beyond anything that was considered a high power system at the time, and deliver so very little in return. The eye candy is nice, but I would take an updated version of XP over it any day.
XP SP3

Using it, works nicely, I'm amazed!
I stayed away from Vista like the plague for the past year, but recently decided to give it another try. I'm a technet subscriber, so got a copy of 32 and 64 bit with SP1.Now we're talking. Works much better, much smoother, stable, and quicker. Still not perfect. You still have to shut off half the darn services that no one needs. But its starting to show signs of life. Even games work well. These people are security crazed, I have no idea what they are trying to protect me from
Also have XP SP3 on my regular desktop. Not sure what it did actually. Its huge though. Seems fine, but no real change.
