Windows In late October, Microsoft announced the beta of the second service pack for Windows Vista and Server 2008. This beta was limited in audience, and today Microsoft has fixed that: it opened up the beta for MSDN and TechNet subscribers, and coming Thursday, it will be opened to the general public. The releases will be distributed via TechNet.

New hardware support is good, but I'd really like to see them to something really serious on the performance side. If they can say that Windows 7 will be faster than Vista then why cannot they put these improvements into Vista?

These service packs don't really seem that thrilling to me. I'll still stick with XP for the time being unless there's some significant performance improvements.

If Microsoft fix Vista, then why would you buy Windows 7?

Gee, I don't know. Perhaps by adding some of the features that Vista missed out on?

Vista is as fast as Win7, same kernel, same core.

I'll rephrase that:
Vista is as slow as Win7, same kernel, same core.
