Vista SP1 RC
November 18th, 2007
Well I’ve been playing with SP1 for Vista for a while now. Not much to say appart from it’s a big boy and take a very long time to apply. The other SP1 build where a little iffy to install and sometimes appeared to fail. This latest one the RC (Release Candidate) seems just fine. It’s on my main work laptop doing what I suppose it should do, ie. work 
. Copying of files across the network seems to be better (faster) but I’m not sure if that’s just me. I also think that the battery life looks a little better now.
So overall I’d say it looks ready to go.
Not sure if I’m alowed to post this but I don’t see why not ! Of course I’ll delete it if needs be.
I downloaded and installed the SP1 RC date 12/14/2007 yesterday. I uninstalled it today as my Intel RAID did NOT like the results. The machine crashed each time I did any significant activity on the RAID drives which hold my D, E, and F partitions. I even tried the registry “hack” discussed in other posts. Fortunately, my machine is again stable after removing the SP1 RC. I’ve got an Intel DQ965GF, E6700, 4 Gb Adata RAM, Maxtor 320Gb SATA C: Drive, 2 x Maxtor 320Gb SATA RAID 1 D, E, F drives
