Re: SP2 Fixes a few things

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Another thing about Vista's "problem" is its product differentiation for which Business version doesn't include media center.

It has always been that the higher versions will include all features of the lower versions and that business versions will include those of home versions plus more.

Now that they corrected for Windows 7 (or why they corrected it if it's NOT a problem?).

If one really examined the overall offering of Vista, one will know that it's a sloppy/rush work from product design to development to offering.

Well I must admit, SP1 was a huge disappointment but SP2 was what the doctor ordered for my PC.

My 5+ year old XP system was 20 times faster at disk to disk copy and network to disk copy than was my Vista. Solaris and Linux were 30 times faster. Applied SP1, no change. Vista was still pig slow at moving big files.

But SP2 changed that, now have the same performance as XP, maybe even faster on disk to disk. M$ fixed something in this load. Don't know what, took them a long time but much welcomed fix!

Gee, you should stick with Linux where you belong.


Oh? and why does he "belong" there? He is praising the MUCH needed and now realized improvements in Vista, yet you feel a need to put him down? Is there something wrong with liking to use something else together with your beloved OS? Why is it unacceptable to use Microsoft's OS along with an alternative OS? Something wrong with using the best of BOTH worlds? Something wrong with using what works for you whether it be one OS or the other, or both? I use Linux and Ms OS's for different reasons. Why is it necessary to HAVE to use only one OS? (Exclusivity) It's not necessary, and only one with a narrow mind thinks so. Whether it be a Linux advocate, or Microsoft advocate, both have closed minds when it comes to using both. Pretty silly I say. There are advantages with both OS's, so why not take advantage? You people crack-me-up.


That Clown57 posted to me a couple days back about him and his wife and their take on Vista, which was a pile of crap according to him. He may have you fooled but not me. I don't trust a two-face like him as far as I can pick-up a building and toss it somewhere.

K, w-e-e-el, I may have "gone off on you," but I see so-o-o-o much narrow mindedness, not only here but everywhere, and it ticks me off. There is no good reason for it other than an agenda for many. ..That is all sides of the OS wars and their zealots push all-or-nothing. One can't even mention they have strayed from the ALMIGHTY OS accepted at all. There is NO tolerance. How pathetic is that. Anyway, I agree with you when it comes to two-faced crap. One should make a decision and stand fast, not wavering. ..LOL like someone else I read here. "Vista is crap," SP1 installed and maybe vista isn't so much crap. Oh no, then it goes back to Vista is crap, then SP2, and, well, maybe it isn't so much crap. Nope, back to Vista is crap, XP is better. Blah, blah, blah.

I liked XP plenty compared to Win98 and it's predecessors, but grew weary of it, and was glad for change. I liked Vista from the first boot to now. Haven't had much trouble with it at all. (Lucky I guess)Some people just can't deal with change. I like change, and is one reason I like the Linux I use, as it is Sooooo configurable. One doesn't have to look at the same-ol'-same-ol' at all. In a matter of minuets one can completely change the looks with no hacks or reboots. ..Of course there are other reasons to use the OS, but that is one of the great selling points, for ME anyway. K, get it? What works for ME. ..As it should be.

I beta tested Win7 and now Win7RC, and I am Liking Win7 much better than my Vista Ultimate for various reasons, (Performance for one.), but already I read about how people aren't dealing with change once again and have complaints. I had to just ROFLALOL when people complained that they couldn't figure out "where the start button went." (Vista) I just never thought there were soooo many CLUELESS people "out there!" Where in the Sam-hell has LOGIC gone?? If the start button in 95, 98, and XP was in the same place, then wouldn't you think that the orb looking thing in the same place as the ol' start button might do the same thing? Wouldn't SIMPLE logic DEMAND one to just click it? At LEAST mouse-over it? Oh man, I just can't get over that one, and now other things similar to that with Win7. My GOD people get a clue, use your friggin heads for-crying-out-loud!

K, book/rant is done..

G'day
