I had really thought that Vista SP1 would be an improvement. I didn’t think it would be a big improvement, but still that it would be more competitive with Windows XP and the modern Linux desktop. I was wrong.
I’ve now been working with Vista SP1, the so-called RTM (release to manufacturing) version, for about two weeks. I am amazed at how little improvement I see in this so-called major update.
Last year, I took a long, hard look at Vista versus desktop Linux, testing SimplyMEPIS 6, in a four-part series. In the months since then, we’ve learned that Microsoft lied about how much hardware was needed to run Vista in an affair that we’re now calling Vistagate.
