The other night my Vista PC informed me that were new updates to be installed. Naturally I proceeded with the update procedure and was quite happy to find that the update it was going to apply was Vista Service Pack 1.
The download didn’t take too long (I’m on a 4mb cable broadband line at the moment), but the installation procedure certainly did and involved several reboots too. I believe I was waiting about an hour all-in-all for it to finish applying the service pack.
I can tell you though that it was more than worth the wait for me because Microsoft’s promises of greatly improved speed performance when copying files have all come true. I tested it this evening with the latest episode of On the Spot from Gamespot. Vista copied the file (which was almost 1gb in file size) in about 50 seconds over my network to another PC. Before the update this would have taken around 20 minutes.
There are a few other key updates to the service pack, as well as all of the previous security patches that MS have released for Vista. I believe that the service pack is being rolled out in stages, so not everyone will get it at the same time. Indeed, I’m now waiting for my Vista laptop to get the update - no sign of it yet though.
Nice one Microsoft, but next time let’s test the OS’ basic file operations first eh, instead of making users wait over 12 months for their PC to work properly.
