A Vista Service Pack 1 Story
,----[ Quote ]
| News Analysis: This morning I got an e-mail about a failed Windows Vista
| Service Pack 1 installation. Gulp. From my boss.
|
| Scot Petersen, director of editorial operations for Ziff Davis Enterprise,
| couldn't get SP1 to install on his Vista PC. Oh, and he tried. Wasn't it just
| yesterday that I expressed my lack of confidence in the update?
|
| Scot isn't a Windows newbie. The staff here tends to be highly technical and
| Scot is no exception. That makes his problem all the more interesting, which
| is why I asked permission to blog about the failed installation.

Only yesterday he spoke about a problem of another friend.

My Lack of Confidence in Vista SP1

| News Commentary. While troubleshooting a friend's Outlook woes, I found
| Windows Vista Service Pack 1 ready for download and installation. I couldn't
| risk it.

| My buddy loves Microsoft, but he detests Windows Vista. On Saturday, for the
| umpteenth time, he praised Microsoft while we were driving to pick up his son
| from playing paintball. See, my bookseller friend remembers trying to
| automate his business before there was DOS—how much it cost and how little
| benefit he got from the money spent.
|
| [...]
|
| He had no idea what was there. My buddy smiled: "Hey, I just do what they
| tell me," referring to Microsoft and the Office 2007 trial conversion.
|
| The computer had more pep after the software removal, but I haven't heard
| whether or not Outlook is behaving better. My friend is ready to move to
| another e-mail program; he asked about Mozilla Thunderbird. The bookseller
| had heard of the software because of Firefox, which his son had installed on
| the computer. Apparently, IE 7 also frequently crashes.
