Early Vista SP1 64-bit installs causing new problems?
section: windows, for your questions: KezNews forum, 25.2.2008
An iTWire journo by the name of Alex has found yet another Vista SP1 issue to bitch about, this time it's the x64 version and early reports are pointing to several problems.
Anything from the "Windows Performance Rating" vanishing, to the poor souls Treo not being recognized through "Windows Mobile Center" after SP1 installation. There could be many explanations for this happening, for example: The guys laptop is so sucky that Vista did him a favor by simply hiding crap results, and his phone may no longer sync to Mobile center because he has so few friends and contacts it just isn't worth it. Think of some yourself, it's fun!
Vista may have done the guy a favour.
Or Vista is indeed broke, and Microsoft need to sort it, but basing an entire 3 page article on one guys (unconfirmed) issues with his laptop seems so troll-like, it's almost beyond belief and seems more like a knee jerk reaction. Either way I am sick of all the ranting as of late, so much so that I will be installing Windows Vista x64 SP1 just to annoy websites like iTWire, InfoWorld and CNet (Staff bloggers) and all of their readers to show them that any normal user can install Vista x64 SP1 and have everything work afterwards. Meanwhile a whambulance has been dispatched to the above mentioned sites to pick up the whiney tossers.

i've had sp1 x64 installed the first week it got out. no problems at all.
i have vista x64 ultimate sp1 on 2 pcs and a laptop, one of the pcs was an upgrade from
rtm, the other pc and laptop were installed from sp1 disk, no problems on either
xp, vista, windows 7, whatever. they do the job but really don't have any real wow
factor and are still cumbersome.
i'm waiting for the glass board with
transparent graphics or holograms that is truly intuitive and visually pleasing. sorry
cmd junkies, but most people really want this stuff, no i don't care if it takes 21 video
cards. if vista would have simply added a crappy but true 3d interface, most would never
know is was crap under the hood like most everything else.
knowing ms, the
closest they'll come to this anytime soon is a wii joystick half ass ported to windows 8
that works sometimes but will end up embedded in the wall near the computer or in the box
of other hardware that never delivered as promised.
i truly believe we're 4 or
5 years away from just talking naturally to your computer and it actually consistently
doing what we want.
until then, we're stuck with xp, vista, windows x etc.
at least we can still tinker with these a bit.
our kids will look back at
this and laugh ... for a more reasons than we think.
microsoft surface?

i'm laughing now, at your comment. it seems to me you expect too much.
me too installed x64 sp1 on the first week of rtmmming
no probs and there really is
some improvement in bootup times
ok so i thought ide give vista sp1 a go and see if there really is any improvment but the
problem i had was after the install vista would boot and then just a few minutes later
would reboot and this kept on happening everytime i booted into vista.. so i just
uninstalled.. think il wait untill sp2. oh and yeah it was using the loader crack. i want
to like vista but its very hard when there is so many problems with it.
microsoft windows vista sp1 x64 english italian translated, everything works fine, no
problem and ultra faster, using an activatory only
the problem with vista x64 is the the person installing it. the person with a old piece
of junk for a computer who thinks anything can be installed on it. a dude with a 32 bit
system and doesnt know what that means. and of course the common reason....a cry baby who
cant afford to build a system to run it and crys linux! that pretty much covers it..oh
yeah my 89 year old grandma!
