If, like me, you are stuck with the old and decrepit version of Windows that is Vista SP1 at work then you may be interested in Service Pack 2 which became available on the MS Download site today.
I am not saying that I would rather have XP, but even with my work development computer ( 8 cores, 4gb rams, 2x 10000rpm raptors, raid 0+1) I find that it is sometimes a struggle finding some resources with which to run Visual Studio…
For me this is not a lot, and I have more running on my wife’s laptop (2 cores, 4gb ram, 5400rpm HDD) with less problems on Windows 7 RC. I am not saying that Windows 7 uses less resources, but it certainly makes better use of them…
Well, lets hope SP2 solves at least some of these problems…
Ominous…
I think as usual with Vista only Part 1 of 3 will be done while I can still work… with part 2 on shutdown and 3 on reboot…
You can find out loads about what is in it from:
Windows Vista SP2 RTM + Windows Vista SP1 Blocker Tool Removed
Hopefully this will work…
