Vista SP2

[Canuck57]

Anyone know when M$ is going to release this?

Want to see if it fixes Vista performance problems or is it hype?

Anyone try the SP2 Beta?

When it's good and ready.

Wait until it's released. I think it will be relased when MS is good and
ready.

Anyone try the SP2 Beta?

Nope.

Long release cycle = lots of problems in last beta.

Do you remember when MS released SP2 for XP and that made it "come alive"?
Well I'm running SP2 v286 for Vista and it does the same thing and it's
still a beta release!
The RTM should be even better.
Just FYI, I never really had and "performance problems " with Vista. I
believe that certain hardware/Vista combo's are/were the problem.
Obviously, I didn't have these certain "combo's".

It is possible you are right. Seems like Vista has a dose of slowness on my
Q6600 with SATA drives on the ICHR9 chipset. Memory isn't the issue, it has
8GB. Real pig actually. Even a 6 year old XP laptop beats it's ability to
copy files in and out and disk to disk. But runs Linux like a F22, fast...

Lets hope SP2 has more to it than SP1.

Suggesting that Vista's problems are due to hardware is nonsense. It's
the job of the OS to run well on common hardware, not just a small
subset of it. Not to mention, Vista has documented slowness in disk,
network, and USB access everywhere. Lastly, Vista requires twice the
hardware to run as fast as XP and has no advantages over XP (only
disadvantages and feature reductions).

Vista is a pig. Maybe SP2 will elevate it to a "pig with lipstick"
