Visual Studio Tips and Tricks

I'm slowly starting to like it and can see many improvements over XP. I'll be really happy when I can use the search the way I want to, though. Seems strange to me that the OS puts so much emphasis on searching yet it can't find any of the stuff I need. Using XP to search a network share for the stuff I want because it's quicker and more reliable seems... absurd. Although I doubt that'll get fixed, I'm really looking forward to SP1. Seems like it will take care of many of the other stuff that had been bothering me.

Seems Vista SP1 is available to MSDN Subscribers since Valentine's day ...

Will the SP1 avaible in all languages on 18 march? Or only 4 languages?

When are they going to put Vista out of its misery?

Hey Now Zain,

That is good to know,

Thx 4 the info,

Just spent the day at a MS launch in Harrisburg and got a brand new copy of Vista Ultimate and I can't upgrade without the SP1.  DAMN!!! I was so excited.  Now I have to wait.  Those sneaky little Microsofters build up my excitement and then crush it.

Have a new Notebook with Vista pre-loaded. Do I wait for SP 1 before transferring everything from XP, or just go ahead now. It's not urgent, so can wait a couple of weeks if that's best

Vista SP1

Where is it tryed to find it can't

i honestly think vista is better then xp by a long shot i havent really seen many bugs at all and the asking you to do things before you do it isnt a big deal just click down on the arrows and enter or over what ever kind it is vista is alot easier to use then xp also

Windows Vista for me is the worst thing I ever did. What a nightmere. When it's not crashing and refusing updates and when Media Direct is not wiping out my entire hard drive...... it's really cool and clever. How date microsoft try and charge me to staighten out my OS. I use a new dell xps. My computer life has been ruined since I got it. I'm thinking of going mac and Bill Gates is not longer someone I admire. I am now anti Bill. Before vista I loved him like a god.   Disgusted in New York City

how long have micrsoft been puting vista sp1 off sick of waiting gone back to my mac never have any drive pros on that. vista come out to early now its us thats paying for it, and they have charged £100s for the crap os thats just not on   how can they get away with this i just hope theres some big changes in the sp1 long over due ,start thinking of your customers microsoft

Save the humanity, get rid of GarbageSoft!! Use Linux or OS X.

Hello,No bullshit guy.I want to ask you what's the bad effect on my Vista platform after i upgrade to Vista Sp1.For instance,Such as will it run slowly obviously after upgrading?

Thanks.No bulldump guy.xixi

What do you mean with "Vista will be widely available March 18th" ? Will be released all 36 languages? I need the Italian version

Regarding the burn in idea I have also observed this strange effect.  In hardware maintenance there is always a "bathtub" shaped curve of reliability where a system that does not fail early on will likely run for a long time thereafter theb abruptly fail at the end of its expected lifespan.  There seems to be no logical reason why this would happen with software but in fact sometimes after a few reboots or even days of running things seems to settle in.  We had some initial Vista trouble at G2 but now Vista is cruising.  I would have no other OS as my  main system.

Service Pack 1 for vista works like a charm, I highly recommend a fresh install though, as for searching your networks or computer you have to tell vista what locations you want to index.  They finally fixed the power options for sleep as my computer will now go to sleep when its told too, even after being idle for a set amount of time.

I keep seeing comments of "I got SP1" and I still have not seen it using the Microsoft Update.

What's the deal?

Is it version specific?

I am waiting to install the upgrade from Vista Business to Ultimate and it will not install until I get SP1.

If I have an issue with a driver that Vista doesn't like, will it let me know, or just go on ignoring me?
