Windows Vista SP1 ya está disponible
Tuesday, 18. March 2008, 23:26:09
El tan esperado Service Pack 1 para Windows Vista ya ha sido liberado por Microsoft. Si bien aún no se puede descargar por Windows Update (aunque otrs digan lo contrario), si se puede descargar desde el sitio de Descargas de MS.Ya lo estoy descargando. Veremos que resulta luego de instalarlo.

I have been using Windows Vista Home Premium form almost six months now somthing like 10 to 15 hours a day, 7 days a week. I develop web and windows applications using Visual Studio 2005, SQL Server 2005, .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.5 and IIS7. I also use Office 2007 every day and I connect to a variety of networks and I use different WiFi providers everyday. I have a notebook Dell Inspiron 1420 with Intel Core 2 Duo 1.50, 2 Gb RAM, 120 GB Hard Disk.
All I can say is that I have never been so comfortable with an OS. I have no compatibility problems with any of the multiple gadgets I have used with the notebook and no problems of apps hanging or anything. So for me is an extremely good OS. Anyways I know people that have had seriuos problems with vsita but almost all of them where due to poor hardware. So, yes, It's true, you need good and powerfull hardware to run vista, but if you have it, vista is excellent.
Theres is only one program that comes with vista that I don't use an that's IE7... I use Opera 9.5 beta. For the rest, Vista and Microsoft provides lots of cool tools for everyday use.
Hope this helps but take into account that this is MY opinion...
Bye.

I copied 500 MB of files and it took 4 hours and 35 minutes to finish.
It takes 2 minutes to start and never uses (according to the Vista gadget, anyway) more than 50% of the RAM
If my HP tx1420us (3GB ram, 2.3 GHz Athlon X2 64, 250 GB disk) is a hardware failure, I prefer keep working with Linux or even Windows XP that works a lot better.
I just gifted Bill Gates and Company with 200 dollars.... stupid me.

I really don't know what happens with your machine and Windows Vista but looking at the photos in your blog it seems to me a driver problem.
I'm not saying tha Vista is the best OS in the world and that everyone should be using it. I'm saying that it's the best OS for ME, and that I have no problems at all with it. It's very rare the ocassion when it hangs. Obviously if you are having so much trouble with Vista you should use Linux or XP.
I even know a couple of guys that have Windows Vista Starter Edition and don't want to use anything else until they can upgrade to Home Premium or Business...
I think that you will be ok with Linux. I have to use a Microsoft OS as I work as a .NET Developer so I'm tied to MS. But I can assure you that Vista goes without any kind of problems every day.
Regards.

Anyway... it is too slow. To me, 3GB is more than enough for modern work and yet, my desktop (WinXP + 512 MB ram) runs faster than the vista counterpart...
Besides, game support is awful, and Windows memory management really sucks (How come it doesn't use the whole RAM????)
I will downgrade to XP, wait for SP3 and that's it.
But anyway... I will install SP1 now that I still have Vista, just to test it.
¿Any thoughts on this?

No he tenido problemas con el Service Pack 1, de hecho borre los archivos necesarios para su desinstalación. Además yo no confiaría demasiado en el Gadget de la SideBar de Vista. Para ver realmente el rendimiento de la máquina te recomiendo el ProcessMonitor (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx) de Sysinternals.
De todas formas, lo importante es que, elijas el S.O. que elijas, sea útil para lo que necesitas.

Así que creo que me quedaré con XP
