Come on, Kerry, you've been here long enough to know better than that!

You're right logic and reason are beyond some people. I reserve Sundays for
baiting the trolls. It didn't work this week :-(

And you're an a*shole disguised as...well...you don't really have an

You're just an a*shole!
Plain and simple.

Some people see MVP and don't read any further.

There's a good reason for that. Can you figure it out?
Can any of you
dispute any of the facts in my post or are all of you on an agenda to
denigrate Vista and MVPs at the expense of logic and reasonable dialogue?

The only agenda I've ever seen here is for fanboys to blindly defend
Microsoft. Why do you suppose that is?

And you were just wondering why most MVPs that post here aren't liked.

In YOUR opinion.

In everyone's opinion in this thread except you![/QUOTE]

Now you're trying to speak for everyone. Got any more tricks?
Source please?

The same one you got most people don't have problems with Vista.
Oh brother! You CLEARLY have no idea what you are talking about.

You seem to be projecting like Frankie. Maybe if you work together
you can round up a few more fanboys and combined maybe you can talk
some insurance company into giving you a group rate for treating
mental disorders.

Since when? That's all you do here.


There is one camp (you) that doesn't understand software engineering AT
ALL, and has no clue about the process.

Odd, my employers paid me a fat salary big enough for me to retire
shortly after my 40th birthday, about 20 years ago and bozos like you
are still working. Hmm...
There there are people who DO understand (me).

I understand you perfectly. ===> Blowhard. You're in good company you
have many equals that share that "talent" here.

ROTFLMAO!

Previous "Service Packs" have often been software rewrites - in
file size nearly a re-install. Those rewrites have benefited
from an infinity of combinations of hardware, software, user
settings/errors, and from an army of professional malware
defenders fighting guerrillas who attack vulnerabilities just
for the fun of it.

Considering past SPs, I wonder what Vista SP1 will include.

My guess is that SP1 will not add much in the way of security,
but will push it further into the background and less intrusive.
Perhaps massive usage data will enable security functions to be
safely trimmed and made faster for most.

Will SP1 add stability? Vista overall seems to be very stable
for most, though - again - perhaps massive usage data will
support further stability enhancements.

What about functionality? I've seen interest in capabilities not
available from the present Vista - perhaps some will be added
once usage data suggests it's safe to do so.

And speed? Well, my Vista installation is as fast as XP Pro, but
everyone wants more speed. I think this is a primary goal for
Microsoft, who knows that consumers want faster operation -
particularly boot and shutdown times. The only thing worse than
"slow" is "STOP!", so there are pauses throughout Vista to
permit checks and cross-checks. Experience will permit
streamlining of such precautions and I therefore expect Vista
SP1 to "take off".

Microsoft collects massive data because most computers call
home, and MS information collectors watch discussions, monitor
corporate usage, are intimate with major software companies, and
collect information from professional repair services. With all
that since Vista was released, I'd guess that plans for SP1 are
pretty firm by now.

What do YOU expect from Vista SP1?

And, of course, when do you think SP1 will be released to
non-Betaphiles like me?

Though Microsoft bashing is an international sport, it's one of
the world's most successful companies and a monument to American
entrepreneurism and brainpower (credit goes to the Israeli
Microsoft groups for much of the latter). Such companies as
Microsoft, Boeing, Walmart, Dell, Exxon, Verizon, and GE take a
lot of heat, but I admire and respect such achievement.

To be quite Frank (pun intended) - I don't expect it to be fully
functional yet with sp1, bases on the magnitude of the problems I see
reported. You'll recall that win98 took sp2 before it really worked.

You sure do have a big mouth...bet you can easily stuff both feet into
it at the same time.
Don't forget to take them out so you can take your daily meds ok?

Ha! You're one of about 2-4 losers who post here and don't like and
stalk MVP's.
The rest of this ng appreciates all they they do.
Grow up you loser.

Seeing as how you don't have a ray (pun intended) of hope of ever using
Vista I'd say your thoughts are totally irrelevant.
Peddle your linux crap somewhere else, ok?

"jet aircraft"
Manufacturers routinely send out Service Bulletins and other
information, much relating to safety issues.

"but they don't have a pattern of getting released only to undergo a
major recall"
Yes, they do.
Planes routinely get grounded until a fix is made after the problem is
blamed on an accident.
Many aircraft accidents directly result in changes designed to prevent
a reoccurrence of a similar accident.

I am less familiar with some of the other industries, but even some of
those have recalls months or even years later.

Your comparison to these things falls flat when reality intervenes.

Or can you prove none of those items have been delivered with a life
threatening flaw (without serious flaws.)?

I don't -expect- anything... what I'd -like- to see in SP1 is better file
copy/move and a working native CD/DVD writing functionality. (Preparing
disc... never works for me. I don't use the native tools for this. Not that
most folks would, but, geez, guys, if you're gonna offer the functionality,
make sure it works.) Other than those two nits... I'm pretty happy with
Vista. Use it every day.

Grow up you loser.

What the typical MVP does here:

1. Scold users saying they're posting to the wrong group.
2. Endlessly repeating it's a driver issue.
3. Saying if you don't like Vista nobody forced you to upgrade.
4. One Bozo claims I'm stalking him.
5. Imply the OP doesn't know what they're doing.
6. If they say anything remotely on topic at all, it's a quick cut
and paste job.

So?

Often it is drivers. That's very common. Ask any Nvidia users. So what?
3. Saying if you don't like Vista nobody forced you to upgrade.

Someone forced someone to upgrade? I don't think so. But ranting in here
and not detailing the problem is well...a problem.
4. One Bozo claims I'm stalking him.

You are and we know it. We've all watched you do it so stop denying it.
5. Imply the OP doesn't know what they're doing.

Imply...well many times OP's don't know what they're are doing. A lot of
users thought Vista was just XP+eye-candy...and now find out it isn't.
6. If they say anything remotely on topic at all, it's a quick cut
and paste job.
You mean they cut & paste the answer?
So?
