Vista SP1 Guides for IT Professionals Released Microsoft released several detailed documents explaining just about everything you ever wanted to know about Vista SP1. Highlights include a Deployment Guide, list of included hotfixes, and a 17-page list of 'Notable Changes'. In reviewing the Notable Changes document, it seems the company focused on improving reliability & performance in really specific scenarios, so it's no wonder that most reviewers are reporting no noticeable gains. http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?si...23202&from=rss |

That is less than 25 years. :) |
also playing back music, over network, will spike CPU usage to 100% every few minutes, rendering dual core laptop useless. this is frustrating. |

weird, it's also happening now without any music playing, just random spikes to 100% when browsing and visiting a page with video/audio embed, that will cause it too :( |
jmke, if you install processexplorernt then you can see in a histogram which program causes the spikes. If you never use DRM-protected media or wma/wmv movies then you can disable the pipelinecache so playing regular mp3s is less stressing your cpu (you can still use media player classic to play wmv/wma files). |
also noticed now CPU spikes when using WLAN, great :/ not going to troubleshoot this until SP1 releases, if afterwards SP1 doesn't solve it, I will consider downgrade to XP (again); |
Aye, I'm having so many repeating activation issues now that I am losing my patience. Not to mention every single game will crash when I attempt to exit from the game. For whatever reason they do not shut down correctly. For anyone that usese Vista and must hard reset their BIOS... make doubly sure to correctly set your system clock in your BIOS before you even attempt to load Vista. If not it will put you through a never ending activation hell until you reinstall from scratch. |
I wonder why anyone would bother with Vista when they have troubles. Why don't they just write off their loss of money and reinstall XP. |
