It's a colletion of bug fixes since RTM and the OS core has gone through some changes. Performance difference wise, you will notice file copy or HDD related activities become faster.

Core Performance

Game performance

The two articles above is quite informative.

btw, just after installing sp1, i couldnt use my printer but luckily went google and found the solution... its something about the "printer spooler service"... wonder if anyone faced this kind of problem before... hmm.gif

any fixes involving media center?

QUOTE

  • Adds support to enable new types of Windows Media Center Extenders, such as digital televisions and networked DVD players, to connect to Windows Media Center PCs.

  • Enhances the MPEG-2 decoder to support content protection across a user accessible bus on Media Center systems configured with Digital Cable Tuner hardware. This also effectively enables higher levels of hardware decoder acceleration for commercial DVD playback on some hardware.

  • The relevance is quite significant: DirectX 10.1, UEFI, better DVD, Blu-ray, HD DVD, Digital Tuner and content protection support, as well as Media Center Extenders.


that is what it said from the website gave by shady... great website though.. notworthy.gif

The WoW starts with

Vista SP1.


Why?

Because my computer is AS RESPONSIVE as it was with Windows XP.

Top Six Tips Before you Install Vista SP1

Chris Pirillo says "SP1 for Vista is officially out now. There have been issues with the install reported, as can happen when you update anything. Goretsky sent these tips in, to hopefully help you bypass any troubles."

Dont LOL so hard. It is true. It was stated in many hardware sites quoting that SP 1 wont be available if one of your hardware isnt compatible with Vista SP1.

I have yet to try it but after reading many forums regarding it build up my believe on the statement.


By the way, anyone experience more broken software functionality after SP1 update? Particularly on games.. installed many only a couple works.

Looks like some of your hardware drivers could be not supporting SP1 or maybe some software (eg. Daemon Tools) crashed with SP1. whistling.gif
Mine so far so good~~~ thumbup.gif
