Vista service pack 1 good or bad




















A pre-requisite update KB triggers endless reboots on some machines. Microsoft suspended the automatic distribution of this update. I installed this update before, but I didn't experience this problem. I just checked Windows Update and it was available again. Before that, I was able to install Vista SP1 without this patch anyway. So it seems like this issue is not as bad as it seemed at first.

KB has details on how to solve this problem if you are affected. Milo reports that some systems with SP1 crash when attempting to wake up their PC from sleep mode. I have experienced the same problem on some Vista machine without SP1.

A BIOS update might be of help in such cases. However, I don't know if the problem described by Milo is a new one. He thinks that it might be related to the reboot issue. However, I think it must be something different because the reboot problem isn't about sleep mode. ITWire received emails from users who experienced problems after installing SP1.

One is that the memory and performance rating is not displayed anymore, and the other one is about the Windows Mobile Device Center. Based on the screenshot they published, the latter one looks familiar to me.

I got the same meaningless error message sometimes when I connected my Windows Mobile 6 device to different desktops running the Windows Mobile Device Center.

The only solution I found was to reset Windows Mobile. I don't know if this is really the same problem, but it could be that SP1 causes an authentication problem which probably was the reason for the error message in my case. Microsoft plans to release a new version, but as far as I know, this is not yet the case.

The German Windows Vista blog and Aaron discovered a problem with the sound system. It seems that this is related to the driver problem discussed above. However, Microsoft dedicated a particular article KB to it. Even though some media are making a big deal out of this SP1 issues, I don't think that they are really serious so far.

Of course, those who are affected might have a different view about it. But do you remember about the troubles that service pack 2 for Windows XP caused? Well, XP is everybody's darling now.

The operating system had a difficult birth, with Microsoft scrapping its work and starting over again about half-way through the development cycle, shedding many promised features in the process.

Once out in the market, Vista had an even rougher childhood. Others stuck with Windows XP and kept waiting. Over a year and more than a hundred million Vista sales later, SP1 is finally out. It, too, had somewhat of a rough start, since Microsoft was forced to postpone it by about a month due to driver compatibility problems.

Would it really fix everything disillusioned Vista users expected? High on the list are a handful of storage-related performance enhancements that cover copying files, extracting archives, or doing many kinds of file operations at once. Along with these welcome speed boosts, the new service pack brings a very long list of reliability, security, and power-saving improvements.

That list is a little too long to sum up here, but users can look forward to everything from more consistent hard drive spin-downs, which should improve battery life on notebooks, to better driver stability in default drivers, and new application programming interfaces to help developers write more secure apps and better anti-malware tools.

Last, but certainly not least, SP1 introduces support for a number of new technologies and standards. Direct3D Meanwhile, exFAT brings support for file sizes of up to 16 exabytes and more than 1, files per directory, where FAT is limited to 1,file directories and 4GB files.

As ever, we did our best to deliver clean benchmark numbers. Tests were run at least three times, and the results were averaged. Vertical refresh sync vsync was disabled. The tests and methods we employ are usually publicly available and reproducible.

If you have questions about our methods, hit our forums to talk with us about them. WorldBench is a good way to get a feel for how SP1 affects real-world Vista performance. This benchmark uses scripting to assess the performance of eight major Windows applications, from Firefox 2 to 3ds max 8, in a variety of different usage scenarios.

Yes, Service Pack 1 is one whole WorldBench score point faster than the release-to-manufacturing version of Windows Vista. These tests should do a good job of mirroring day-to-day usage scenarios like web browsing, word processing, or multitasking with a CPU-heavy app in the background. Individual apps show more pronounced changes, but we see no clear pattern emerging.

SP1 is sometimes faster, sometimes slower, and sometimes the same as the RTM version. Users working in Microsoft Office or authoring CDs and DVDs in Nero will see slight performance benefits from SP1, but those running Firefox 2 either on its own or with a copy of Windows Media Encoder doing its thing in the background will see a slight performance decrease.

As for folks extracting files with WinZip, they should see no changes. As such, users may be hard pressed to notice any performance increases or decreases at all. The next few tests span the more heavy duty, enterprise front of WorldBench. In media editing, encoding, and rendering tasks, Service Pack 1 performance is even closer to that of the release version of Vista. HDR lighting and motion blur were enabled.

Antialiasing was disabled, and texture filtering was set to trilinear filtering only. We see the same result in Team Fortress 2 as in our previous benchmarks. For this test, we copied a MB video file from one GB Western Digital Caviar SE16 hard drive to another hard drive of the same model, and we recorded the transfer time using our stopwatch.

As with all our previous tests, we ran each file copy three times and averaged the results to rule out any flukes in testing. The picture for network copies is a little foggier, though, since one of our editors has run into performance issues with network shares on his own system following an update to SP1.

If you were looking for across-the-board system performance improvements or major new features, prepare to be disappointed. Our benchmarks suggest SP1 does significantly speed file manipulations, and we confirmed those results with our seat-of-the-pants tests while copying and deleting local files during everyday usage.

Where the average desktop user may not notice many changes, perhaps folks with different needs and usage patterns will. Should you switch to SP1 regardless? I am very happy with Vista and will never go back to XP. Or require a paid for upgrad. Seriously if you already had and application that worked fine. Why would you have to pay for an upgrade just cause you wanted a new OS? Those are some very good points. I think we can all agree that you have won, and end the discussion. Talk is cheap Z-Man….

Then give us a rundown on the DX 10 performance. Follow it up with how XP security does in comparison to Vista. Finally a few words about how the old prefetch setup of XP is superior to Superfetch oughta do it. Can you please post something with substance?

Really what tired old routines are these? People point out specific issues they have with vista and all you ever do is post none specific retorts. Vista SP1 installs the TLB fix and even overrides any bios option to disable it, seriously reducing Phenoms performance. No,just the uninformed and the people with obvious anti MS bias. Cyril did indeed get it right,much to the embarrasment of the Vista haters here.

Watch them squirm everytime another nail gets hammered into their tired old routines…. Cyril, as usual, is correct in his articles. Vista is running just as fast as xp ever did if not faster.

Guess i must have done something wrong since everyone says that Vista is unstable and slow. Vista SP1. Most of us are holding onto our copies of XP for a lot more reasons then improving a bit of performance over RTM. I highely doubt that I will be upgrading to Vista anytime soon and I pitty people whose only option soon will be to get that put on their new PC. Wrong again. Seriously there are applications out there that sometimes are only written buy a vendor for a custom application.

OR only one software vendor who thinks integrating two or more services into a single application. As we have in the example I gave.

The customer has looked for an alternate product. Again you are defending an indefensible position, because others have stated the similar case regarding some things.

You are totally, utterly wrong. I realize that this is antagonistic, but your point — which you have maintained 3 consecutive times — is indefensible. Even with no real-world experience, and no knowledge of anything except math, it should be plainly obvious that if you get specialized and complex enough, there will not be enough room in the industry for more than 1 very skilled software producer.
