[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.

It's not that shocking considering these numbers aren't just Xbox numbers as you're deliberately trying to make it seem for some reason.

Interestingly, another no shocking fact is that whenever Microsoft releases its quarterly earnings reports, you're quick to point out that those numbers aren't exclusive to Xbox. Yeah... go figure.

They also fired around 2500 people across Microsoft's gaming divisions and Zenimax shortly after buying it, and before they closed down 4 studios including Arkane and Tango.

I remember Satya boasting about how compassionate he was for splitting the list 50/50 across the two companies.

Could be not as bad could be horrible. But it's Ms so I'm expecting the absolute worst.

Sometimes I feel like they brought in Sarah to take the heat away from Phil.

Phil has always stuck his nose into everything Xbox related when it's something positive or at least neutral but as soon as they went the multiplatform root he's stood back and let Sarah do most of the talking in terms of PR. Now they are doing the same with layoffs.

The person who should be let go is Phil himself.
