Although the dates are public for a while the tsunami of news regarding the release on WU is filling me FeedDemon.

The seticenti experts already dwells in advice and criticism, some of which really worthy of Zelig Circus. The myth Petri in his post says it all and having his immense knowledge I think all you need to know.

I confine myself, in my small, adding that, by using the SP1 RC0 the general impression of greater speed and robustness of the system is absolutely real.

To resolve a problem of allocating disk space on my laptop (IBM Thinkpad T60, IBM marked the last ...) the installation of Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 duration 17'03 ".
The devices have all been recognized and functionality Troubleshooting asked me to update with the manufacturer's drivers via Windows Update, some driver components.
So install the machine was fast and the system is generally faster and more reliable.

The advice I can give is to check the driver compatibility before buying or upgrading is essential!

The usual informed on the facts reported that the final bits of Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008 RTM has been released. So everything goes as plans for the release of the new server operating system and the much longed for Vista SP1.

For many network managers in particular the SP1 of Vista might give away more convinced that an adoption of the new operating system clients.
Windows Server 2008 is much awaited for the many innovations that affect IIS, virtualization, management of AD and the CORE installation. If you continue the good trend inaugurated with Windows Server 2003 you can really expect an operating system that migiliori performance and reliability.

UPDATE: In Windows Vista Team Blog Mike Nash announced that, due to some drivers whose installation is not in line with direttvie Microsoft, Vista SP1 will have a release plan is rather special:

• In these days, Vista SP1 is released to OEMs for installation on new computers
• In mid-March will be released (English, Spanish, French and German) on Microsoft Downloads and Windows Update and if the system update found a driver problem will not proceed with the notification
• In mid-April, SP1 will be released for all those who have automatic updates and if these drivers were incompatible with their Windows Update will update.
• All other languages will RTM in April

So Italian users will not see SP1 on April 1 and only if all drivers will be compatible with this update. Of course it remains possible for network administrators to use the tools for blocking SP1 on WSUS.
