I have set aside my .50 cal for now, the performance increases in Vista are significant enough with just 1 GB ram in my machine to give MS props for getting Vista SP1 where it should have been in release.
Update took just under an hour. AMD x64 3000, 1 gig ram The GUI is much snappier, especially when doing multiple switching between windows etc. Programs load quicker Network transfers are like they should be, fast and without hesitation I have not had any problems with programs that I use thus far after the update. I am going to put my 2 GB back in and see how much happier it is. Have not retired the old .50 cal but I don't think it will see any action in the next few days anyway.

For the love of all things holy can't Microsoft ever figure that out? I remember the same issues when XP was released.

I removed my machine from the domain, stopped firewall, and stopped Symantec. I then ran the patch quiet and unattended. Came back from lunch and it was on its last stage of completing. The first thing I tested was copying 5 GB of data to the server in the next building. I am impress so far. Z.V. Rod Trent wrote: 2 hours into installation, it tells me that the install failed. It then took another 1.5 hours to revert back to pre-SP1. I'm now back up, but it gave me the following URL to troubleshoot with: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkID=101139 From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 4:56 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Vista SP1 Reports Would be interested in hearing reports from anyone who has installed Vista SP1. I just did on my Dell desktop at work. Took about 45 minutes. No known problems so far. I did it at the end of the day, though, and won't be able to really play with the system until Friday. I'm now downloading for installation on an Asus laptop. I'm more nervous about this one than the Dell. We'll see what happens.
