Windows Vista getting better?
16 November, 2007 – 9:07 pm
Windows Vista had much criticism since its release for many reasons, including its lack of the originally planned feature set and various annoyances such as User Access Control (UAC) and hardware incompatibilities.
Service Pack 1
To fix some of these problems, including some of the major slowdowns during operations such as file transfer, Microsoft will be releasing Windows Vista Service Pack 1 within a few months. The release candidate is now available for Microsoft testers.
A whitepaper published by Microsoft near the end of August 2007 outlined the scope and intent of the service pack, identifying three major areas of improvement: reliability and performance, administration experience, and support for newer hardware and standards.
One area of particular note is performance. Areas of improvement include file copy operations, hibernation, logging off on domain-joined machines, Javascript parsing in Internet Explorer, network file share browsing, Windows Explorer ZIP file handling and Windows Disk Defragmenter. The ability to choose individual drives to defragment is being reintroduced as well.
So, will Vista be going the dreaded way of Windows ME or will it succeed as Microsoft hope?
