Get Ready! Microsoft Windows Vista SP1 Update Coming
Windows Vista SP1’s rocky ride to market has no doubt turned the stomachs of many advanced users. The latest turn of events -- and to be sure, this journey changes course daily -- has Microsoft recommending workarounds for rebooting issues caused by a recent Windows Vista update that was meant to prepare systems for SP1 -- which is supposed to happen in mid-March.
An SP1 update made available shortly after that broader release of the manufacturing-ready SP1 code caused machines to reboot and reboot and reboot. And so Microsoft yanked it quickly. In the meantime, those whose systems didn't suffer from endless-reboot syndrome discovered that Vista SP1 didn't do much, if anything, to overcome its speed woes: Early performance reviews were not encouraging: InfoWorld's tests showed Vista SP1 to be up to 40 percent slower than Windows XP with SP3, while PC World's tests showed mixed results.
