Vista SP1 Problems Already?

"Microsoft has stopped automatically distributing a prerequisite piece
of software for Vista Service Pack 1, following some customer
complaints that it had caused system problems."

My downgrade to XP Pro is looking better all the time. I think it is
time for MS to abandon Vista and see if they can strike a deal with
Apple to port Leopard to their pcs.

And how many updates has Leopard needed since it's release? The grass isn't
greener on the other side.

What a goof! Apple doesn't support Xbox 360 as an extender, live OTA HDTV,
recording the same or a host of other things. Some of us do more than play
solitaire and browse the internet and watch Utube.

Surely better for the update to be put on hold than for it to roll out
right?

Mac OS? Have you actually used it?

If there wasn't some glitch somewhere I'd be surprised. However, what you
mention probably affects only a few customers and since the general x86
distribution via WU is not for a while yet it may well be wholey fixed
beforehand and no one will be the wiser. As it is, Vista SP1 is looking like
the way Vista should have been in the first place. The new engine purrs like
a warm turbo diesel.

That would be an upgrade, not a downgrade.

You're kidding, right? Do you really think that Leopard is
going to run on the tens of thousands of hardware
permutations that Vista is expected to run on?

That would be an upgrade to the very best OS available today Vista.
