As new data is collected, the system will respond "within a few days," Microsoft says. Microsoft says that's because SP1 erases the existing SuperFetch data. As a result, users currently running Windows SuperFetch will notice, after installing Windows Vista SP1, their system is slower. There are also many tweaks and improvements in ReadyDrive (requires the use of special hybrid drives) and ReadyBoost (requires special USB drives), and SuperFetch (requires a specific amount of RAM). Specific reliability improvements include the prevention of data loss while ejecting NT file system file-system-formatted removable media enhancements to TCP/IP Version 6 improved driver sleep and wake-up times improved Meeting Space connections improved Remote Assistance applications and it includes Encrypting File System in the Windows Vista file-backup set.įor performance, Microsoft says SP1 uses less bandwidth when browsing network shares, and automatically selects between wireless and wired when more than one is offered.
Despite the many changes within the code, Windows Vista SP1 does not change the basic hardware requirements for running the different editions of Windows Vista. If you have enabled Automatic Updates, in theory, you should have a much shorter download and installation of the upgrade than someone who hasn't kept up with the numerous updates since Windows Vista's release. Windows Vista is modular, thus the upgrade will download only the bites of code necessary for your specific system. While all this sounds complicated, Microsoft says it has learned from Windows XP SP2, an upgrade that sometimes stranded users with long, overnight downloads. Two of these updates increase the success rate for installing Windows Vista SP1 one is necessary only if you have Windows Vista Enterprise or Windows Vista Ultimate installed.
Microsoft's Windows Update will automatically detect and install these updates prior to the release of Windows Vista SP1. Volume license customers (enterprises) will receive an integrated DVD media package for installation on new PCs.īefore installing SP1, all users running Windows Vista RTM (that is, if you bought your computer with Vista preinstalled) will need to install three updates from Microsoft. Users with limited or no Internet connectivity, or who need to update more than one PC, will be able to download a complete image of Windows Vista SP1 via DVD. Microsoft says that users will only receive the changes specific for their computer to cut down on network traffic and download times. Most users will automatically receive the update via Windows Update. Windows Vista SP1 will arrive one of three ways.
