Finally, the service pack we all waited for, the one that would fix everything we struggled with in Vista! But wait, there is a catch!…This is not a full blown service pack. It’s an “RC” meaning release candidate and that is where things get interesting.
For those of us who went through the RC Versions of Vista in the beta program, we remember how this played out. Download it, install and go through all the tribulations but when the actual version is released, you have to UNINSTALL the RC service pack first! It may not be a big deal but then again, it could mean a lot of repeat work for you if you make config changes after the RC is on your machine.
As much as I like to be on the edge of the latest software, I recommend serious caution before slapping the RC Candidate on your Vista OS. Or at least wait until a few trial stories come out to see if your system or favorite software has a potential issue.
Now if only I could get that Office 2007 SP1 to stop reinstalling itself everytime I open Outlook…sigh.

Microsoft Commissioned Test Shows Vista SP1 Performs Comparably Or Better Than XP SP2 & Vista RTM:

Hate is an understatement. I despise this operating system, literally.
I was one of the earlier adopters and after forking over much tango denero to buy this sorry excuse for an operating system, I soon came to realize it would be littered with more bugs than a 400 year-old wooden porch.
Crashes occured daily, blue screens a plenty. You name it. And that is not even considering the lack of driver support. This GIGO operating system found ways to surprise me, and in a bad way.
So I waited patiently, thinking SP1 would save the day. Last week, I installed SP1, only to have this operating system show me new blue screens of frozen tundra. Crashing daily, sometimes twice a day! This for me is quite common. And this is a clean install computer!
Gates, give me back my damn money! You should be paying me to use this junk!
