Full Version: Windows Vista Sp2
Yep, I did and seriously regret it. My themes file have been patched, and when SP2 installed, they went crazy, so I had to uninstall SP2 and manually unpatch then repatch my files.
What a hassle.

I haven't installed it as I'm no longer running Vista - Windows 7 RC ftw - but according to this article the major changes are better Bluetooth and processor compatibility, improved Wireless, Blue-ray disc support and faster search.
Nothing major really. There are already third-party apps for these functions.

I'll get around to it once I've troubleshooted the issue with my monitor's AC-in slot -_-
It shouldn't bring anything major, since they already worked out the stability with SP1, my guess is that it's more fluff.

Installed it earlier today, Installation seemed to of gone smooth and no problems so far
I've downloaded it, but I haven't installed it yet. I'm looking forward to formatting my laptop this week, so I guess I'll apply the patch then.

Except Vista Glazz (currently) has a SP1 version.
But yea, it sucks when this stuff happens. The things I give up for an awesome looking computer.

Hah, I might get that. SP1 corrupted one of my .dll's and now I'm running the Windows '98 theme (without a sidebar) and can't change it.
Fine with me, though. The start-up is much faster as compared to a beefed up theme and sidebar.

Argh, so now I have to reupdate it?
I guess that beats having the annoying update icon.

Still, i was going to install it last night, but i got off at like midnight, and when it said do you want to apply these updates i was like... i'll never be able to read with my PC still on, much less sleep... fudge you! So i just unplugged it in a fit of rage... strange.
Gah.. still can't disable Windows Photo Gallery/Mail/Calender/IE etc. -_-
