ベータWindowsヴィスタのサービスパック1を経験する


ユーザーがSP1を得る共通の方法はWindowsの更新を通ってある。 それは私がHP tx1000にSP1をいかに取付けたかである。 SP1へ得る前に、一連の3つの前提条件は私が最終的なWindowsヴィスタを動かしているがBitLockerが他のWindowsヴィスタSKUsに含まれていないのでだけ)最終的な走ることではないまたは企業に取付けるべき2があるユーザーはので最初に取付けられていなければならなかった(私のための3時だった。 私は説明したプロダクトマネージャーにデイヴィッドZipkinこれらの前提条件がであるもののため話した。 最初の前提条件は整備の積み重ねに更新を含んでいる。 第2前提条件はBitlockerの適切な整備を保障するBitLocker可能なPCのための更新(最終的なWindowsヴィスタ企業およびWindowsヴィスタ)である。 そして第3そして最終的な前提条件はサービスパックを取付け、アンインストールするのに必要なWindowsにある更新を含んでいる。

パワーユーザーでサービスパックおよび前提条件を手動で取付けることを私私はWindowsの更新のコントロールパネルに入ったが、ほとんどのユーザーはWindowsの更新を自動的に更新を取付けるためにおよび形成してもらう従って他前提条件のように更新自動的に、普通夜通し取付ける。

前提条件が取付けられていれば、それからWindowsの更新によってSP1に更新と進める。 デイヴィッドはマイクロソフトがまた、正常な月例更新の一部として、サービスパックに先んじるこれらの必要な更新のいくつか従ってあなたを解放するように意図することを私に告げたサービスパックを取付けるときすべてこれらを見るべきではない。

SP1はWindowsの更新に出て来るとき、ために「重要な更新」し、51MB - 679.6MBからのサイズの範囲を与える。 私のために、Windowsの更新を通したサービスパックのダウンロードは比較的速い起こった従ってSP1のサイズが最高よりもむしろ末端の多くであることを私は仮定する。 SP1が取付けている間、私は問題なしで働き続けられた。 SP1が取付けることを終わればWindowsの更新は取付けを終えるために私のPCを再始動するために再始動しなければならないことを私に警告し私の仕事を終えることを私を許可する。

私のデスクトップPCで、私はSP1のための独立取付人に試みを与えることにした。 独立取付人はx86およびx64味の単一のダウンロード可能ファイルとして提供されるSP1の版である。 私が私のデスクトップPCの64ビットで走っているので、私は独立取付人がSMSか他の第三者の管理ツールで出す企業網の環境でそれによって主に管理者使用されるSP1.Theのためのx64独立取付人を選んだ。 In the case of Windows Vista SP1, the size of the standalone installer is noticeably larger than previous Service Packs in part due to the fact it accommodates for the 36 basic languages supported Windows Vista and all Windows Vista SKUs. This should make it easier for IT administrators to roll SP1 out to PCs running different languages on different SKU's on their network. 1 file does it all. My experience installing SP1 with the standalone installer versus installing SP1 through Windows Update was pretty much the same, except the standalone installer also took care of installing the prerequisite packages for me.

With Windows Vista SP1, there have been several improvements to my user experience I think are worth sharing. The first thing I noticed after installing SP1 was the logon experience when logging into Windows Vista. In entering my password, and logging into my account, I noticed improvements to responsiveness that weren't there before. On my desktop PC (which is joined to a domain) the improvements to the logon experience are even more noticeable. The delay between pressing CTRL-ALT-DELETE and getting the password prompt is pretty much gone.

After logging in to my PC - visually I saw no changes to the desktop shell. However, I did take notice to some minor tweaks to the UI in a few areas after some digging around. For example, the Search option has been removed from the Start menu. More on this later...

There is also a new option in Windows Vista's Disk Defragmenter allowing you to choose which volumes you would like to defragment. On my desktop PC, I have two drives. With the changes noted here - I was able to choose specifically to defragment my second harddrive. This worked great.

And in the BitLocker Control Panel - users of Windows Vista Enterprise and Ultimate are now able to choose which drives to encrypt. Previously, the user was able to only choose the drive that contains Windows Vista (the boot partition).

Outside these minor tweaks to specific areas of UI - I didn't see much new in the way of UI in SP1.

I've also taken notice to improvements in overall responsiveness of my PCs. Improvements were also noticeable in resuming from Hibernation or Sleep on both my desktop PC and laptop running SP1. I discovered copying files from one directory to another is a bit faster. And on my laptop - battery life seems to be improved since running SP1. I have also noticed that transferring files to my shares on my Windows Home Server are a bit faster than they were previously without SP1. Overall performance in accessing my mapped network shares is improved as well. I store quite a bit of data on my Windows Home Server so this was a huge plus for me. These are just some of the performance improvements I've seen running SP1 so far.

Back in June, I wrote about my experience running a dual-monitor setup with Windows Vista. Several readers commented on issues about connecting an external monitor up to a laptop running Windows Vista. SP1 includes improved reliability in connecting an external monitor to a laptop. Users can expect a better experience connecting an external monitor to their laptops as I've had a much better experience myself.

My wireless network experience is improved on my laptop. Prior to SP1, I had been experiencing issues in losing connectivity on my wireless home network and having to repair the connection (especially after resuming from Sleep or Hibernation). Since SP1, I've not had to repair my connection once.

After upgrading to SP1 on my two PCs, I've had no issues with any of my applications. On my HP tx1000, the VeriSoft Fingerprint software and HP Pavilion Webcam both continue to work great. Certified for Windows Vista apps Trend Micro AntiVirus 2007 and CorelDraw X3 also continue to work great as well. All of the new Windows Live betas released a few weeks ago (including the new Windows Live installer) work as advertised. Even the Windows Home Server Connector Console continues to work great.

Microsoft has recently published a KB article outlining changes to Windows Vista's desktop search in SP1 but I'd like to elaborate a little bit based on my own experience with the changes. Windows Vista SP1 allows the user to change their default desktop search provider from the built-in Windows Desktop Search that ships with Windows Vista to another 3rd party desktop search provider. As noted above, the Search option has been removed from the right side of the Start menu. Users will also notice "See all results" has disappeared when doing a search via the Start menu. Instead, you will see "Search Everywhere". Search Everywhere will launch whatever is the user's default desktop search program. In Windows Explorer, users will also see a "Search Everywhere" option in the toolbar as well.

These are just some personal notes on experiences I've had so far. Moving forward with SP1, expect to hear more on my experiences in the coming months. Microsoft is continuing to improve the user experience with Windows Vista both by SP1 and updates from Windows Update. Several months ago I wrote about how much I love Windows Update. Windows Update continues to offer updates to the user experience. Microsoft continues to pump device driver updates out to users through Windows Update as well. For me, it is exciting to see Microsoft continuing to utilize the potential Windows Update has in improving the Windows Vista user experience and SP1 is just one part in that plan.

Using memory in your storage device to speed up your computer


Windows ReadyBoost can use storage space on some removable media devices, such as USB flash drives, to speed up your computer. When you insert a device with this capability, the AutoPlay dialog will offer you the option to speed up your system using Windows ReadyBoost. If you select this option, you can then choose how much memory to use for this purpose. However, there are some situations where you may not be able to use all of the memory on your storage device to speed up your computer.

Some universal serial bus (USB) storage devices contain both slow and fast flash memory, and Windows can only use fast flash memory to speed up your computer. So if your device contains both slow and fast memory, keep in mind that you can only use the fast memory portion for this purpose.

The recommended amount of memory to use for Windows ReadyBoost acceleration is one to three times the amount of random access memory (RAM) installed in your computer. For instance, if your computer has 512 megabytes (MB) of RAM and you plug in a 4 gigabyte (GB) USB flash drive, setting aside from 512 MB to 1.5 GB of that drive will offer the best performance boost. The minimum size for any USB flash drive to work with Windows ReadyBoost is 256 MB.

Microsoft Releases Detailed Guides for Vista SP1


Microsoft has released a set of documents for Vista SP1.

Vista%20Ultimate%20Case.gif

This is the most comprehensive amount of information released so far. There are 5 documents in total. They are:

-Deployment guide for Vista SP1

-Enterprise Guidance for Application Compatibility Testing

-Hotfixes and Security updates

-Notable Changes in Windows Vista

-Overview of Windows Vista SP1

Download and open the hotfixes document. I had no idea it would contain almost 70 pages of hotfixes. Haven't had a chance to read through the whole thing...so I am not sure if they have zapped some of my major pet peeves.

They all can be downloaded from here
