Windows Vista SP1 improves the overall upgrade process, fixes hundreds of tiny problems, and makes it easier for third-party vendors to write stable code for Vista.
Windows Vista SP1 lacks any compelling "must haves," and, in most cases, doesnt significantly improve performance (in some cases, it even degrades performance).
While its always good to install the latest code for any operating system, installing the Windows Vista SP1 update will require some casual users to spend a few hours without any visible or tangible improvements to their systems. See all products in t...

Surprisingly or not, Vista Business edition works on Athlon XP 2500+, Nvidia 5200FX and only 512MB RAM. Of course that it works a lot better on better PCs but the mere fact that it can work on this old bucket is very encouraging. Vista Aero glass wa...
Overall I like Vista. I spend a lot of time with it. I am one of the few people that had most of the betas installed in the lab. I tried beta 1, 2, 3 release candidates all the way to RTM and the final version. I have to admit that final and RTM feels ...
Abstract: It's been five years in the making. Hundreds of thousands of man hours have gone into its development. Millions of words have already been written about it. Some have already written it off, others can't wait to get their hands on a copy. Finally it's he...
