Anybody who has seen O Brother Art Thou would remember what a fun filled adventure it was. The blind man's prophecy in the beginning of the movie about the hidden treasure the 3 convicts were seeking and the treasure they would ultimately find, is probably what would best describe the pursuit of millions of people seeking the ever so elusive Vista SP1 and the 2 updates - KB938194 & KB938979 could yield.
I absolutely adore Jim Allchin, so much; that nobody at Microsoft can ever take his place in my mind. But I think there's been too much of negative speak about Steve Sinofsky on the blogosphere. But Office 2007 is a great product isn't it? And so is the case with SP1, Especially the enormous amount of skepticism about whether SP1 would indeed provide performance improvements. Well turns out, most people may well obtain the performance boost by August 14th, when Vista Performance & Reliability Pack is released to the public. For the lucky ones who are enrolled in relevant programs on Connect you can download it today. And it seems the results are encouraging...
Update: The original forum posting on AeroXP has gone poof! But you can still read about the 2 updates - KB938194 & KB938979
