my startup/shutdown time decreased marginally but the vista experience feels pretty much the same. maybe my laptop specs is not that powerful enough to fully realize the improvements?

why are you so sure that SP2 will solves all the problem? WinXP, even with SP3, still got lots of issues...

The problem with people (includes computer users) is that, when something new is released, the second released or the consequent releases are assumed to be better, and that's what they'll wait for.

Playing the waiting game in the computing world is rewarding, but heck, you got to be on something at some point.

I choose Windows Vista and SP1 as the choice of operating sytem today. I won't say "Nah, I don't want Vista, I'll wait for Windows 7." That's just plain silly.

Or...

"I don't think Vista SP1 is any better, I'll wait for SP2 and then I'll really get into Vista."

What I'm saying is that, Vista is now even more perfect than ever with SP1.

yaya, all my network issues clear d...happy with it...

a lot less crashes, but there's still work to be done.

In May 2008 issue of The Official Windows Vista Magazine, they have an entire article on Service Pack 1.

In it, their results before and after SP1 is enough to prove than Vista SP1 is all the more reasons to get the operating system today.

However, in the test 'Crysis', the frame rate before SP1 was 30fps and after is 28fps.

File transfer to 'external hard drive' is slightly slower, but that's fine.

Overall, 80% of the tests conducted clearly showed that SP1 delivers better overall performance.

2FPS difference is too little to be detected by the eyes. You need at least 5~6 FPS before you can see the difference lol

i am some problem..
i do not know why this still occur although is SP1..

no improvement

correct me if i'm wrong....after update to vista ultimate service pack 1...my usb port seems to not function at all...it's detect but unable to open any of date in my any of thumb drive...so i just go back to normal vista ultimate...all of it back to normal again....

Install latest driver first b4 install the sp

Sp really got me some improvement. Cpu usage decreasing, ram usage decreasing, all things become more faster than b4. My laptop juz hve 1.8Ghz, 1Gb ram

as for me, got huge improvement because i didnt update the original vista to SP1, but rather install vista that has been integrated with SP1.

more stable than before, however my winamp often crashes though

WMP or Foobar >>>> winamp

i got some plugins to use, like leoslyric and that karaoke plugin.

and winamp's sound quality is much better than WMP and foober from my comparison.

With 4GB of RAM... the diffrent is obvious.. much much more faster and smoother...

It's Seem Like The Same..

Just The Ram Can Support 4Gb Nia..

Internet Explorer Still Have Terrible Issue..
Might Change To FireFox
