Has Microsoft fixed Vista?
02/07/08
To say that I hadn't been impressed with Vista when I decided to purchase a new laptop last year is like saying William Hung disappointed Simon. I seriously thought about purchasing my Lenovo T61 with Windows XP, but decided against it because... a. The T61 came with a DirectX 10 video card, the Nvidia NVS 140M, and I didn't want to lose the benefits of DirectX 10- whatever those may be; b. It cost more money; and c. I thought they'd fix it eventually.
Well, in December, they did. It still had a less-functional interface and was incompatible with some hardware and programs, but it didn't crash anymore nor give me frequent 100% CPU usage practical crashes.
Whoa! Never one to rest on their thorns, Microsoft made it even better!
This article on cNet says that Microsoft fixes a bunch of little things with the Vista SP1 release. I guess DirectX 10 improvement for the people who own Crysis may be good. You can get it now through a torrent site, but I'll wait until the official release. I'm not taking the risk of messing up my system for slightly improved file transfer times.
