Windows Vista Service Pack 2 is now available for download. The Vista SP2 update includes new support for recording Blu-ray discs straight from the Vista OS, updated support for Bluetooth v2.1, and bug fixes that address slow shutdowns and mysterious crashes.

Goodie, 2 things i don't care about and something that could have just been in a patch

Wow, that's it?

330 megs to add support to 2 small things and a few under-the-hood patches?

Additionally the software giant said the service pack improves Wi-Fi performance when bringing a computer out of sleep mode; it also has support for Bluetooth 2.1, and users can now natively write to Blu-Ray discs.

Nobody loving uses blu-ray anyways.

Will this stop the insane unexplainable war between wireless and local connection when loving local is available anyways and much faster obviously but the wireless won't let go without a fight to the death?

How about the absolutely ridiculous memory usage that goes into starting Every. loving. Application in existence on startup that you will probably not use ever so conveying memory into that stuff is a huge forget waste of memory and means a start-up that lasts half a century?

Did they fix those loving access restrictions yet?? I feel Vista doesn't like the fact that I'm trying to remove all it's useless performance-hampering stuff functions to make it seem as much like XP as humanely possible. The forget is this, Mac OS?

I really hope Windows 7 is just Windows XP, because forget if I'm installing Vista on my laptop. I did on my second work laptop and it's unusable now.

My Vista is only running what it needs to live plus a few programs I want on, on start up.

Honestly, I only use wireless for surfing the web or something. I'd never use it for gaming. Too risky.

How about the absolutely ridiculous memory usage that goes into starting Every. loving. Application in existence on startup that you will probably not use ever so conveying memory into that stuff is a huge forget waste of memory and means a start-up that lasts half a century? Vista startup for me is really slow. I just did Run>msconfig and chose which applications to start on startup, and restarted. Bam, not slower anymore, and Vista turns off Aero whenever you are in fullscreen or something.

I feel Vista doesn't like the fact that I'm trying to remove all it's useless performance-hampering stuff functions to make it seem as much like XP as humanely possible. The forget is this, Mac OS? This annoys me though. They need to sell a separate total restricting version of Windows, the Dumbforget Vista edition.

Just replying :/

The battle to the death between wireless and local connection for one, kicks me off the internet and does a few other stupid things. Didn't know there was a way to take applications off that start-up list though. It also crashes pretty often, to the point where one day I was working on a report and it just shut itself off. I never opened it back up after that.

I got fed up so my gaming laptop is now simultaneously my work laptop, still it bugs me having a laptop sitting around doing nothing all day.

Dunno why you guys use it, costs a stuff-load of money and requires some stupid equipment for something that's a small improvement over dvd. But I guess if it works then shoot.

Vista 32 works fine for me, not sure what your all doing wrong or what's wrong with vista? I used to have xp on my computer and vista is twice as fast. And I've never crashed due to anything wrong with the os.

Vista 64 works like a charm for me. Faster for me too.
