It is maybe a last ditch attempt for Microsoft to save face over Vista, the whole world sees it as a flop, they need some good press, and releasing a buggy service pack would be the straw that breaks that camels back.

I never had much in the way of problems in the first place, but other people I know who had nightmare experiences say its like night and day.

Where do you see anything indicative of stability issues?

Microsoft premium customers, though, get the same crap but they have to wait longer for it. It seems that the more invested/involved you get, the more they piss in your cornflakes.

What do the missing language translations have to do with this?

Besides, hoping for 100 % readiness and stability is rather Utopian, isn't it? Tue, 04 Mar 2008 22:22:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (bousozoku) Comments RE: Comment by mnem0 http://osnews.com/thread?303418 http://osnews.com/thread?303418 hehehe "piss in your cornflakes"

I like that one. Tue, 04 Mar 2008 22:53:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (raver31) Comments RE[2]: great news... http://osnews.com/thread?303420 http://osnews.com/thread?303420 Because it is a release of a service pack - duh !

These things are never flaw free, I take it you are new to the world of computing ?

Joking by the way ;) Tue, 04 Mar 2008 22:55:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (raver31) Comments RE: Comment by mnem0 http://osnews.com/thread?303428 http://osnews.com/thread?303428 hahaha Like that comment, good one. As someone who has just bought a copy of Vista Ultimate 64 I am NOT impressed. This really does not endow faith in Microsoft to be honest...thankfully, I have a legal copy of XP and Debian GNU/Linux, and a mac as well :-)
