As I said.. SP1 will not save Vista...More verification each day:>>>

Those guys over at CNet really have it in for Vista, this time it's Robert
Vamosi suggesting that users that are waiting for SP1 to make the switch
will be disappointed. In all fairness it lacks the flair of the SP2 release
on Windows XP which came with new features such as a new Internet Explorer
version and several security enhancements. SP1 for Vista is no more than a
roll up package of everything released on Windows Update until now.
What Robert fails to mention is that a few performance enhancements are also
included in the update that significantly speed up the OS and are only
available through Microsoft Downloads, which requires the Windows Genuine
Advantage Check. Service Pack 2 for XP was a one-off, due to the repeated
set backs of Vista, Microsoft were forced to include technologies already
planned for Windows Vista, before SP2 Microsoft stressed time and time again
that Service Packs usually do not offer new features.
SP1 will be a welcome update for those that opted to switch when Vista
became available, performance and reliability have always been a talking
point from the very beginning and I am confident that SP1 fixes those issues
(even for those that have already applied the updates)
Anyway here is a snip from Roberts article, follow the link for the rest and
make up your own mind.
If you've been waiting for Windows Vista SP1 to come out before you make the
leap to the new operating system, don't, says Microsoft.
Microsoft's Pete McKiernan, a senior product manager for Windows, told CNET
News.com that one of the purposes of a service pack is to include all the
patches that have been released in one package. Windows Vista SP1 will have
that, but little else for the home user.
Unlike the buzz surrounding Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista SP1 won't include
a new version of Internet Explorer, and won't include any new features that
are considered must haves. Most of the enhancements within Windows Vista SP1
are under the hood and for enterprise customers. In short, Windows Vista SP1
lacks "wow."
