  Inside Windows Vista Service Pack 1
Time: 00:38 EST/05:38 GMT | News Source: Windows SuperSite | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Paul Thurrott: After several months of silence, Microsoft last month finally revealed some concrete information about Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1), which I translated into my Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Revealed showcase. If you haven't read that article, please do so now: This preview, which is based off of more recent beta code and an in-depth discussion with various people working on SP1 at Microsoft, builds off of that article, but provides more information and detail. Windows Vista SP1, finally, is a known quantity.

Virtually everything I've learned about SP1 recently is good news, though anyone hoping for dramatic changes will be disappointed as this release marks a return to what Microsoft calls a more traditional type of service pack. Windows Vista SP1, unlike Windows XP Service Pack 2 (See my review) doesn't introduce major new functionality or break existing applications. But it does provide a number of valuable changes, including, yes, a new kernel version, a surprising array of performance, reliability, and compatibility fixes, a number of small functional changes, and an aggregation of previously-released security fixes and other hot-fixes. Developed in tandem with Windows Server 2008--and not just concurrently, but literally together--Windows Vista SP1 once again realigns the development paths of the Windows client and server products. So much so, in fact, that the first Windows Server 2008 service pack will be the same as Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2). These products, Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008, are literally being developed in lock step.

Here's a quote from this very thorough article:

Between SP1, the many other improvements delivered via Windows Update, and an ever-expanding cadre of free Windows Live products and services, the Vista picture just keeps getting better. And that's saying something, given how good this OS was at launch. P. Thurrott

I remember him calling it a train wreck, he's starting to sound like the Mitt Romney of tech journalist.

Very, very well done article, Paul. Absolutely worth the read.

Andre: I think he did say that earlier on--particularly back in Beta 2 days, when things had a long ways to go--but his final review was pretty positive.

#2 - and thus blugv, you have hit the nail on the head regarding PT's modus-operandi.

It goes something like this: rip on MS early in the beta stages (so as to not look like too much of a MS brown-noser) and then, PRESTO! - when the final release hits the shelves it's magically the best thing ever done!

Case in point - let's take a trip down memory lane...

"I highly recommend Windows Me to all home users that own hardware that meets my minimum system configuration"

"But Windows Me offers tremendous reliability and stability improvements, making this upgrade truly worthwhile."

PT's review of Windows ME - http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/windowsme.asp

#3... interesting regarding Windows ME. Honestly, I don't usually like most of Paul's articles that much... they're too superficial for my tastes. This one was quite good and full of detail, though, so I'll give credit where credit is due. :)

Not to defend Paul, but his general take on Vista is about the same as mine--beta 2 was a little scary (performance-wise it was such a dog), but it turned out very well.

I honestly don't care whether or not someone likes Vista. If you like it, great - enjoy. But this blind defense of all things Microsoft is sickening. I think Peter has cried wolf a few too many times...

#6 By 7754 (206.169.247.2) at 10/1/2007 12:24:47 PM
I don't blindly defend them, but I don't blindly criticize them, either. I'm quite critical of the Ultimate Extras, of the Vista SKU proliferation (and hopefully that trend doesn't continue ad nauseam, as I fear may be spreading to Exchange CALs), I don't really like Windows Live Messenger, I don't own a Zune or a Windows Mobile device (BlackBerry), I'm not that fond of the Windows Live stuff (save for the maps, which I've found are usually the best available online; I haven't tried Live Search much lately, though), etc. I could go on.

I'm really loving Windows Server 2008 so far, though... Viridian is really, really impressive from what I've seen last week and over the weekend.

#7 By 1401 (65.255.137.241) at 10/1/2007 1:00:48 PM
blugv - I wasn't referring to you specifically as a Windows Defender (pun intended), but it's nice to know that you don't like or have that many Microsoft products....I guess...

Actually - I echo probably everything you just mentioned above. The Live push, while no doubt great technology, just doesn't resonate with my online experience for some reason. I'm much more at home in Google's world.

Windows Server 2008 is absolutely rockin! Can't wait to get into production with that...
