"After several months of silence, Microsoft last month finally revealed some concrete information about Windows Vista Service Pack 1, which I translated into my Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Revealed showcase. If you haven't read that article, please do so now: This preview, which is based off of more recent beta code and an in-depth discussion with various people working on SP1 at Microsoft, builds off of that article, but provides more information and detail. Windows Vista SP1, finally, is a known quantity."

I was beta-testing Vista since it was called Longhorn, in 2003. I have it installed on 4 of my computers, one is self-built, the others are from IBM, HP and Fuji.
Vista has been getting worse and slower since around 2005. There were a lot of things planned that never came to fruition.
I have notified Microsoft on numerous occasions about the various problems I encounter, and when they get verified by Microsoft, I get a nice cheque in the post.
You never notify Microsoft through newsgroups, they have different channels for beta-testers.

true, Microsft does have other channels for beta testers. infact they have all kinds of channels for notifcations, including the in the OS when an error does come up it gives you the option of sending it to MS.
altho, I kinda like vista. I do, think it was released premature. and over time it has been getting better. my guess is; vista wont mature, until drivers mature. and way after sp1 probley into sp2.

what kind of machine have you tried vista and SP1 on? how many? what kinds of hardware? how did you setup vista?
you see, I have been testing vista since beta, and have it a many different types of machines and on VMs.
many issues *are* getting fixed, and bicthing that *your* config is not wont help. have you contacted microsoft? eg; posted anykind of preformance data to them via the newsgroups?
you know, aero, defender and sidebar can *all* be turned off? you know that right?
I have notice alot of improvements to vista since it was released.
