i just installed the sp1 for vista and my laptop is so far faster than before. it took about 1 hour to install. no crashes so far.

You'd be far better off asking for the crc32 and md5sum, much, MUCH safer way to evaluate a legtimate copy.

Final official word on the RTM build number would help too.

But either way downloading from anywhere other than a microsoft hosted server invalidates the licence.

I purchased a new machine that came with windows vista. The machine had double the memory that an older machine I had with windows XP. Vista ran slower that the old machine and the security was a pain. Kept asking if I want to do this or that. Of course I did or I would not have done it. Found out one thing. Dumped Vista in favor of Windows XP Pro. Learned one lesson - stay away from Vista. I am not the only one with this opinion. - I suppose that MS will force everyone into vista. But if they play that game they may force people into
red hat

Despite SP1, windows will never be without the need of manual house cleaning of the OS and tweaking for performance. we cannot expect a Service Pack to do it all. Its funny how Microsoft released an article on how to speed up performance on Vista.

Does sp1 expand software compatibility?
Upgrading software is the primary reason that I am reluctant to purchase a new computer running Vista. Replacing legacy specialty software that serves my needs very well,and even widely used software such as Acrobat 7 pro (which isn't all that old) could cost $1000's.
The other major issue is that I am not aware of anyone who has developed program to transfer program set up from XP to Vista, which means a huge amount of time reloading programs that may or may not work under the new OS. With manufacturers no longer supplying disks with the OS, makes cloning an XP hard drive and upgrading windows to Vista a challenge that I am not willing to tackle. If Mac's OS is more compatible with windows legacy software I may be tempted to buy a Mac the next time around.
