Yup, mucccccccchhhhhhhhhhh betta. 'nuff said.

depend on ur pc spec lo bt for smooth use sp1 lor...

no... just the same

what the same??

My transfer speeds are better and much more stable. <3 But there isn't much difference elsewhere. Not that it's noticeable to me anyway.

For me yes,improved slightly and much more stable.

Vista Ultimate (without any update) - my pc takes 2 minutes to start up, including those busy hdd activity (indexing) till hdd activity stop.

Now...with SP1 and Windows Search4, takes 1 minute only.
and the pc spec is just sempron 2GHz with 1GB DDR400 ram.

Is it ok to update to SP1 when i still have uncertified drivers in my system?

I'm quite happy with SP1, no more BSOD when running vLite on Vista. Only two problem though, Product (RED) screensaver isn't working and there's signed drivers enforcement with SP1, no matter X86 or X64...

I have replied on your thread, read there for a solution...

I'd say majority of users experience improvements, and currently the poll confirms this.

Service Pack 1 is all the more reasons to get Windows Vista today.

overall performance is better and stable.....only my sidebar still have problem,some gadgets didnt showed properly

agree with u bro. sp1 is great if u get to install it witout any problem. i feel transfering files are faster than usual and less memory hogging with sp1

Service Pack 1 did nothing to solve the problem I'm having... crash(BSoD) when playing videos.
Does anyone here have this problem or is it just me only?

only you - because no details from you.
even with SP1 - playing video is smoothly even with H.264 video.

somehow i feel that shut down now gets so much longer with SP1...now it takes me close to 1 minute to shut down...i wonder why...last time shut down was only 15 seconds or so

my Vista never have lagginess playing H.264 videos even not on SP1 before. Lesser application crashes too...

i voted yes....a much more stable and less memory hogging environment since using sp1 with all the current updates...

my video and audio playback are smoother. it solves my Quicktime BSOD issue.

but shut down takes longer time than before.

SP1 is better, but still have issues.

Wait till SP2 comes and there should be no problem with it! ;D
