If you are one of the many users who is tired with a sluggish Windows Vista even on a high-end system ( with more than 2GB of RAM and a dual core processor ) then it’s time you give Windows Vista SP1 RC a try.
The Vista SP1 Release Candidate fixes a lot of things in the sluggish Windows OS. Here are some of the noticeable changes I found in my system after installing Windows Vista SP1 RC :
- Start-up and shutdown of Vista is now much quicker. My laptop is now shutting down in less than half the time it earlier used.
- Checking for Windows updates now takes 1/4th the time it earlier used to take.
- Time taken for moving or copying files across partitions has decreased.
- Extracting and creating zip files is faster now.
- On an overall basis, Windows Vista is more responsive now.
These are just some of the improvements I have noticed. You can find a more complete list of what is included in Service Pack1 here.
Go try Windows Vista SP1 RC.
P.S. – I recommend using Windows Update to get Vista SP1 RC.

But still, it is Vista.
Vista sucks…
More patches = more vulnarabilities.
They could have built a good OS in the first place, rather than trying to add bells an whistles to Vista.

Hi Niyaz I agree with that. But still SP1 for Vista is a step ahead for Microsoft. It fixes many of Vista’s quirks and increases it performance.
Let SP2 release for Vista. I think then it will be as good as Windows XP.
