So! Would someone kindly remind me what the fuss was all about.
Eggs act Leigh ...

I've tried to explain it to you, if you don't see it, you're no worse off than if you do

 

Over and out.

Some people just like to have more vista bashing material, so MS is just providing them with more things to stupidly bash about.

I love Vista, it tells me it cant shutdown because the shutdown process is still running.......great huh?

OK enough complaining about the logo on the desktop.   Does the Service Pack actually do anything? When it  finally comes out is it worth the upgrade?

Now would that be the X-rated magician who does peculiar things with eggs during his act?

Pretty amazing how he can un-lay... make an ostrich egg disappear.

Now that was a bit of double Dutch if ever I've seen it, but don't on't worry about me, Mick... I've known all along that MS puts tags on beta software, and that I can opt not to install it, but I've all this pent up frustration and the beta tagging seemed as good as an excuse as any to vent some of it.

According to the Windows blog page, this service pack is intended to tweak/add to various elements of Vista, (more details here) rather than increase speed and/or performance... which were addressed in SP1.  For example, bluetooth, blueray and wi-fi support has been included and/or upgraded.  Some of these items have been previously released as standalone packages with Windows Update; however, I read nothing that claims over-all speed/performance increases for Vista in SP2.

tech stuff is for you young whippersnappers!

well us young whippersnappers have been testing more than just sp2rc1 and so forth for a very long time now Doc.

IE8 rc1 has beenupdated and now works very well. To say the least it out runs my firefox ... supports java again and seems better than ever.

Actually you guys better get on it - this is all due for final release here very soon now.

Sad thing too is IE8 is not skinned as it was with 7 in Vista. Then very soon we move on too the next windows.

So best you go buy a new computer with win 7 and all the goodies... heheeheeee!
