Vista SP1 needs new hardware

| Vista Service Pack 1 comes with an important update for gamers - DirectX
| 10.1. The catch? You need brand new hardware to support it, and NVIDIA
| enthusiasts are left totally out in the cold.

Vista SP1 a Performance Dud
,----[ Quote ]
| After extensive testing of both RTM and SP1-patched versions of Windows
| Vista, it seems clear that the hoped-for performance fixes that Microsoft has
| been hinting at never materialized. Vista + SP1 is no faster than Vista from
| the RTM image.
|
| Bottom Line: If you've been disappointed with the performance of Windows
| Vista to date, get used to it. SP1 is simply not the panacea that many
| predicted. In the end, it's Vista's architecture - not a lack of tuning or
| bug fixes - that makes it perform so poorly on systems that
| were "barn-burners" under Windows XP.

Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista not for pirates
,----[ Quote ]
| Although, unlike previous Windows versions, Vista is not available as an
| activation-free version, a number of more or less effective methods were
| quickly found to run Vista without activation. However, this is soon to end.
| According to Microsoft, Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista closes two
| vulnerabilities which previously enabled operation of Vista without a
| license.

Vista SP1 won't sacrifice security for compatibility

| Vista SP1 will include a significant number of "proactive" security changes,
| DeVaan said. These do not represent fixes for specific vulnerabilities,
| instead they represent Microsoft's efforts to head off potential threats.

Microsoft: No Rush to Vista SP1
,----[ Quote ]
| Those enterprises holding off Windows Vista deployments for Service Pack 1
| maybe shouldn't wait on Microsoft.The question: Should they deploy Vista or
| XP?
|
| Until today, the silence around SP1 was downright frightening. Other than
| responding to a Google legal complaint, Microsoft has been mum about SP1's
| delivery. Microsoft still is not saying when, but it is now saying the update
| isn't that important.
