Rollout of Vista SP1, Not Fast Enough Customers Decry
Microsoft's decision to delay the rollout of Vista SP1 to consumers and manufacturers until March isn't going over well with Vista users who want it now.
The Windows Vista Blog, where the Vista SP1 availability was originally announced is being hit with hordes of posts by Windows users lashing out at Microsoft for waiting to release SP1 a month. On February 4 Microsoft announced Vista SP1 was complete, but it would be available to existing Vista users until mid-March.
One user "crpletschmann" summed up everyone's frustrations, "I strongly agree... Waiting until March to release it on Microsoft.com is a mistake! If it's done, even if it's only the English version, get it out the door as quickly as possible! Otherwise, what was the point of announcing it so early, if nobody can get it for 6 weeks?"
User "NoName" was quick to speculate what a possible backlash on Microsoft might be. "This is the kind of mindless arrogance that has to be expected from the great minds of Microsoft. People will simply not wait another 6-10 weeks to get their grossly premature OS somewhat patched up."
User "daedalus" is outraged by Microsoft's decision to provide SP1 to manufacturers first and consumers second, especially because the consumers diligently tested and provided feedback about Vista that helped Microsoft address the problems and provide fixes for SP1.
I'm sorry to say, Microsoft, but nobody likes to be teases, especially when dealing with Vista which many argue is in need of an update.

I could comment better, but my new Vista computer sits still in the box waiting for SP1 to happen.
Yo, Mac dudes, like, GET AN ABACUS, MAN!! We're talking, like, serious computational powerage, man. Like, get high, and, like, move the beads back and forth, and, back and forth, and, back and forth - it's like a higher plane of existence, man. I sold my Mac and am so well-fully chill about life now with my abacus, dudes. Me and my abacus, like, I AM my abacus, man. Oh yeah, man.
