I know what happened with Service Pack 1

[Previously Tiberius]

from what I have observed there is only one explaination!

Its the KERNEL update! From 6 to 6.1!!!

It seems that they streamlined it and fixed various bugs that was making
vista slow without good reason!

I can say that Vista with SP1 is at least 15-20% faster than Vista pre-SP1
That makes it almost as fast as XP, and with Superfetch some stuff loaded
into the cache actually load up faster/

Its as if Vista now has better speed with the hard disk... while before its
interaction with the disk seemed slow to me..

not exactly slow.. its hard to explain... but I have a sixth sense with
computers and I know when something is not working well

and that was exactly what I felt with Vista pre SP1 without being able to
locate the cause..

The kernel change would explain this significant increase in speed.

Yes It Is A Kernel Update (It Now Uses The Microsoft Windows Server 2008 RTM
Kernel), Just FYI.

The only Kernel you would know is Colonel Sanders. Just FYI. Remember next
time you visit to get the Extra Crispy Bucket. Just FYI. Also, remember to
capitalize the first letter of each word. Mental Retards do that. Just FYI

Show proof of this.

Of course they fixed various bugs. That is why they call it a service pack.
DUH.

Show proof that Vista is 15%-20% faster. What was your testing criteria?
Show what you did and how you came to that conclusion. I'll bet you are
just blowing smoke. Just FYI.

Its as if Vista now has better speed with the hard disk... while before
its interaction with the disk seemed slow to me..

Again, show your testing criteria and your scientific results. We are
waiting. I'll bet this goes unanswered. Just FYI

not exactly slow.. its hard to explain... but I have a sixth sense with
computers and I know when something is not working well

I have a sixth sense. You are going back your your idiot ways. Just FYI.
Give it a few more days. Just FYI

and that was exactly what I felt with Vista pre SP1 without being able to
locate the cause..

The kernel change would explain this significant increase in speed.

Again, you are just blowing smoke. Prove your results with scientific
results. Bet you CAN'T. Just FYI

Incorrect. The build is 6.0.6001 not 6.1.
6.1 is being used for Windows 7 currently.

NO YOU ARE INCORRECT

the kernel is going 6.1 in SP1 exactly as I said, the version of windows
will go to 6001 as you said but thats not the same as the kernel

daaaahhhhhh

read here http://news.softpedia.com/news/FAQ-Windows-Vista-SP1-61121.shtml

The fact of the matter is that Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008 share the
same kernel. So SP1 will upgrade Vista from kernel version 6.0 to build 6.1.

 

[SAM-R]

No you are incorrect. Open Winver and you will see

Microsoft Windows
Version 6.0(Build 6001: Service Pack 1)

 

[cheen]

I explained in my previous post, you are incorrect that is only the windows
version with SP1
it is not the build of the kernel itself

I had aready done what you say right after I applied SP1, but it seems that
I know more than you, and I dont confuse the
number of windows with the version of the kernel itself

 

[SAM-R]

You do not have a clue.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion

It clearly shows that the Kernel is still 6.0. The SP1 is 6001. Same as
Server 2008.

 

[Previously Tiberius]

YES I was incorrect, further reasearch in this showed me that you are
compleatly right..

however I was misled by other SITES that were saying exactly the same thing
that I was...

Sorry for the frustration, Im seldom wrong, but when I am, I admit it.
