so i’m for new features. they could be all Apple and include stuff in final versions (Dreamscene) or even things they said wouldn’t be included (GroupShot). i’m personally hoping for most of the stuff that were cut after Beta 2, like PC2PC and probably Messenger back in Media Center (good point tino!).

@DosFreak: relax, dude. it’s alright to put new features into service packs, and sometimes they are for the better (read Security Center). and i just KNOW you really want a new bootscreen, even though you probably only restart your PC for updates (like me).

@rasken: Maybe Microsoft did not know, what you think a SP is Most of the people now use Windows Update. That wasn’t before XP SP2. So there is no need for updating most of the systems out there with a “fix only SP” in the first place. And the killer argument is: Most of the customers want new features (and fixes for sure) so Microsoft has to give them to us to compete. I personally want the messenger back in Media Center as it was in XP.

@DosFreak – chill out mate. If you’re going to attempt to make a point about something at least make it over something that is worth while. Apparently, you also missed the sarcasm in this entry.

“Fix nothing.”

Because I already downloaded all the fixes from Windows Update as they were released. Duh.

It seems that most of the under-18 crowd want to believe that SP1 is going to inject all sorts of new features into Vista based on what XP SP2 did. If XP SP2 is your only experience with a Service Pack then you have no idea what they _normally_ are.

There huge problems with the indexing. If you have over 2 million files indexed. Not to mention it runs sooooooooooooooooooooooo slow.

I voted for ‘newer is always better’. I’m currently quite satisfied on my Vista PC – granted it was built as a new computer but some of the technology behind Vista certainly has potential. WPF (Aero, 3D desktop composing) anyone?

And hey we can take the name ‘service pack’ quite literally as SP1 will deliver additional services (be it tweaks, major updates to the codebase and ‘features’) into one convenient bundle. Services aren’t limited to bug fixes you know.
