[Update]: User Reports of Windows Vista SP1 Problems Are Varied, Growing

Microsoft's Windows Vista has accumulated a very large user base since its release to the public in January 2007. The recently released SP1 included bundled drivers with the aim of increased compatibility in users' machines who do not regularly perform driver updates. It also includes speed ups to hibernation recovery, and the ability to use encryption tool BitLocker on multiple drives.

Am guessing, I will hold on on the update. I have heard some good news and some bad news.

ive been surfing the all over the web to see peoples reactions about the update, its basically split, some are saying SP1 helped their copy of vista to run faster, some are stating there are no changes, and some are saying that it dropped in performance, thats not really good, might as well wait till 2010 for a new machine with windows 7 or just switch to mac.

I have had the SP1 installed for nearly 48hrs and I can see no improvements in the performance and I have encountered no bugs or problems either.

com'on MS give us something that works...

[cruckel]

To SP1, and I haven't had a single problem with it yet. Even with gaming.

And truthfully, i don't see an improvement either

[badkolo]

yes i see an improvement on my laptop core duo and also on my gaming rig, the sp1 rc1 sucked but the actual sp1 release is impressive so far, everything is running smooth.

i havent had problems with vista since day 1. except for the sleep/hibernation one. yesterday i decided to download and install it as i didnt really think that itll cause me any problems..
now my computer is on and i cant turn it off except if i remove the battery and the power. its very weird i tried everything and as soon as i put in the battery it automatically turns on which is really weird.
i dont know what to do. but i know im switching to a mac soon

I'm one who have problem with sp1... the problem i have is the stupid boot error after installing, just end up in blue screen after restart and it keeps looping. tried it twice, both time ended up the same.

[SuperSaiyan4]

It seems the same to me nothing seems to be running any faster at all.
