Vista SP1 opened up for public testing

The instructions say 

Please wait one hour after uninstalling a previous version of Windows Vista SP1 before installing Windows Vista SP1 RC Refresh.

Wait? Haven't we waited long enough?

I must be one of the two - I wonder how many others there are.

wow... i am waiting for 1 hour minimum now for Vista to uninstall the old SP1 , it is at 94% done and it take 15 minutes to do 1 % ( passed 90%) I am now using my XP laptop because i really don't know when Vista will give me access to my desktop. Marvelous, I am now at 95%... this is totally insane..

tell the readers that if they want to install the new SP1 , they will have to wait a minimum of 1 hour before they can use their computers again.. ( it is 1 hour yet and I am not finish with it, the new service pack is not installed yet, still at 95% uninstall on the old service pack)




The acpi big in vista still does not work. This bug will take the form of not shutting down, not logging off, or not restarting. 

Its bu&&ered in vista, vista sp1 rci, and the vista sp1 refresh.

When the hell will they fix this!!!!

file transfer, internet, everything
seems to snap compared to no sp1.
it even shows 4 gig ram 32bit os.


It's faster to reformat and clean install vista

Any major change eventually becomes sum of all possibilities. Vista Ultimate is not Being Properly Explored, due to shadow of LOSER XP. When Man Named JOHN can do better than some creepizoids, listen. Vista Ultimate best all around desktop system, while Server 2008 is much better written software, take your choice, just stay away from XP.

It won't install on my machine. Looking around it appears to be a conflict with having installed the previous version of SP1. It gives an error code and points to a non-existent page on MS's site. Happens with both the install through Windows Update and the downloaded stand alone installer.

Vista users = suckers

:)

Usual complaints about Vista, why don't i seem to be having any issues with Vista? I have Vista 64 bit Ultimate, installed previous version and unistalled fine. Installed latest refresh, and everything is still working well. Definately didn't take an hour to uninsatll either. Pc spec:

AMD Opteron 185 (overclocked 2.86ghz)
OCZ 2GB DDR 400 (Overclocked DDR 466)
RAID 0 250gb W/D's
Asus A8N32-sli Deluxe

Still don't get what all the fuss about vista is. People compalined about having to upgrade hardware when XP arrived and the same cycle is happeneing again. 

Just get over it and upgrade your pc or laptop!!!

Vista is great
