I think it will take MS a SP3 for Win vista to fix it to an optimum level, just as it was for XP. Plus I believe Vista's ruthlessness towards hardware demands are outrageous, I mean here in India there is not so much scope of seeing hi-fi systems as in the west and people here are hard hit, considering the fact that a majority of computer users belong to middle-class families earning bout $3000 a yr. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-sp2#post-52096 Sun, 12 Oct 2008 07:56:23 +0000 pjeet89 52096@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Yes XP patches were many, so it implies that MS should have corrected all or most of the errors it made during XP release, but it didnt. It repeated the same mistake all over again in WIn Vista. So if we consider a broader sense on how the software sector progressed in the times of the release of XP and Vista, we can safely think that Vista is more buggy comparing to its release time than XP. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-sp2#post-51997 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 18:02:56 +0000 JonMCC33 51997@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Last time I checked Windows XP has had the most patches out of any Windows OS. So with that fact it is the MOST buggy OS. ^_^ </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-sp2#post-51995 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 17:53:18 +0000 pjeet89 51995@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Just by seeing a KB article on it doesnt fully imply that MS wil work on it. Plus I agree that Windows Vista is perhaps the most audacious OS of MS, still branding it as the greatest ever OS is not apt, considering the fact that its the most buggy OS ever too. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-sp2#post-51989 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 17:43:05 +0000 JonMCC33 51989@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Windows 7 is the codename for the new version, not sure if it will keep that or not. Microsoft has various project teams. The fact that there's a KB article shows that they are working on it. Windows Vista and Server 2008 use the same kernel so they certainly aren't abandoning their latest and greatest server operating system. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-sp2#post-51986 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 17:36:15 +0000 pjeet89 51986@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I also read the site <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/d.....spid=11707" rel="nofollow">http://support.microsoft.com/d.....spid=11707</a> given by James but the language used is typically "Microsoftian" way of saying "maybe you wont see Vista SP2" </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-sp2#post-51983 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 17:32:25 +0000 pjeet89 51983@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>A very close aquantance of mine in MS told me that Microsoft is planning not to launch Vista SP2 and is concentrating only on the new version of Windows........what's it called.......mmmm......... Windows 7.0 if I am not mistaken. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-sp2#post-51872 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 03:35:42 +0000 JonMCC33 51872@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Of course it will be out eventually, Microsoft always has project teams working different areas. There are plenty of patches they can roll into an SP2 update and I'm sure there are tweaks and improvements to the UI of Vista. I've heard that UAC is getting an overhaul for Windows 7, I'd hope to see Microsoft roll that into a Service Pack for Vista too. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-sp2#post-51755 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:19:30 +0000 whs 51755@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Nice to know that there will be an SP2 for Vista - but the information is still a little skimpy. It will probably contain things like IE8 and hopefully some more reliable component drivers (e.g. Nvidea). </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-sp2#post-51753 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:05:08 +0000 Scott 51753@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>SP1 was released in early February 2008. If Windows 7 (SP3, ;) ) is set for late 2009, early 2010, maybe it's logical to look for SP2 near the beginning of 2009. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-sp2#post-51745 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 12:26:18 +0000 CPJames19 51745@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Vista sp2 on the cards soon?
