My 6 month long Vista nightmare is finally over

After performing a fresh install of Vista with SP1, I am happy to report that
Vista is alive and well. Performance issues are not a concern anymore, no
crashes, and Vista now provides a very satisfying computing experience. I am
able to dual boot, with Server 2008 CORE as a second OS for learning puposes.

Nicely done Microsoft, and thank-you!

Your happy about getting screwed for six months?

Hi Paul

Good to hear you are pleased but quite a few of us might well be thinking
you could be celebrating a little early. As an example, past experiences
with Windows Mail have been absolutely horrendous - you think you've
'cured' things but later find the old faults rearing their ugly heads again.

..... Anyway, lets hope for the best ....

Cheers,

I did and was disappointed. My Windows Mail is working OK for the moment -
if / when it lets me down again I'll look for something else to use - NOT
produced by Microsoft thank you very much!

Why doesn't M$ make products that work? Then MVPs would not have to
direct people away from them.

SP1 is a lot better, what RTM should have been. I still occassionally
have problems copying files and deleting files until after
rebooting.

Windows Mail was never supposed to have a long life, I don't think. There
are other alternatives, one of which is Windows Live Mail..
