Vantagem genuína de Windows, sistema atualmente no lugar em Windows Vista. Há realmente dois scenarios diferentes no lugar, os primeiros é chamado a modalidade reduzida da funcionalidade que Vista começará dentro se o usuário não ativar o produto a tempo. O segundo é se uma verificação de WGA falhar que faça Vista funcionar na modalidade Non-Genuína. Ambas as modalidades impõem determinadas penalidades em cima do usuário como registrá-lo fora após uma hora ou incapacitar características como Aero ou Readyboost.

A notícia boa é que ambas as modalidades descritas acima estão idas. Os usuários não serão saídos automaticamente anymore que é grande. Microsoft entretanto decidiu-se mudar táticas e nag o usuário à morte - eh registo/ativação - instead. Os usuários experimentarão o seguinte se sua instalação de Vista falhar a verificação de WGA ou se não ativar Vista a tempo.

“Uma tela do nag a ativar no início de uma sessão que não pode ser demitido por 15 segundos.
Cada hora o fundo desktop é comutado ao preto (pode ser mudado para trás, mas depois que uma hora onde é ajustado ao preto outra vez).
Os diálogos da ativação e os diálogos do balão aparecem regularmente.
Os Updates opcionais de Windows não são entregados.“

Os ventiladores de Vista, yup aqui são ele! O bloco esperado longo 1 do serviço na versão de RTM liberou-se. Que RTM - a “liberação ao Manufacturing” carrinhos para? Bem, no short é exato a mesma versão que aparecerá na versão do final do aka de março. O escape é algum tipo de um executável autônomo e tem a configuração 6001.18000.080126-2040. Um outro escape tem-no como 080118_1840, mas seu um timestamp adiantado bonito (18-01-2008) que sugira que seu uma falsificação. Estas configurações são provavelmente escrow e candidato para o RTM final.
Verificação wiki para mais detalhes aproximadamente RTM. Mantenha na mente que este é somente o bloco 1 próprio do serviço, ele não é ISO de Vista SP1! Assim, você pode download o e instalá-lo em toda a (32bit) edição de Vista. Certifique-se também a LEIA NFO for more details & explanation. For those ones who have pirated copy of Vista (well, who doesn’t?), I’m not sure will this work with that popular OEM BIOS emulation crack by PARADOX (Microsoft’s states something like - No way dude).

Leading up to next week’s public beta-test release of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Release Candidate, Microsoft today has published a 17-page document outlining in fine detail exactly what difference SP1 makes to Vista.

Some of the contents has been shared in bits in the past, but this is so far the most comprehensive “changelog” we’ve ever seen and probably will see as the final version is not expected to differ much from the RC, with the exception of WGA modifications as described below. I’ve highlighted some of the most interesting changes which you may or may not already know.

This document describes many of the notable changes in Windows Vista SP1, with the exception of some updates to the Windows Genuine Advantage experience which we are still developing for our customers and will be released in a later build.

Service Pack 1 is a very important milestone because it addresses many of the key issues that our customers have identified with Windows Vista over the last year both, directly and through programs like the Customer Experience Improvement Program. With Service Pack 1, we have made great progress in performance, reliability and compatibility. One of the great things about my job is that I get to play with the latest builds of our products — I’ve personally been running Windows Vista SP1 pretty exclusively for a few months and I’ve noticed that my systems run faster and more reliably than they did with the “Gold” release of Windows Vista.

When we first released Windows Vista last year, there were lots of customers who had great experiences, but some had issues finding applications that worked well on Windows Vista; others had problems finding the right device drivers for some of the hardware devices that they used. The reason for these issues is that in order to improve the reliability and security of Windows Vista, we made some important architectural changes to the system. While this caused some issues in the short term, in the long term we…

Microsoft have by released Vista SP1 to manufacturing, but users won’t be able to actually download it until mid-March at the earliest, company officials said Monday. During beta testing for Vista SP1, Microsoft found that some device drivers were causing problems on systems with SP1 installed. Although the issues can be fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, Microsoft decided this would be too complicated for most users. As a result, Microsoft will spend the next month hunting for additional problematic device drivers, said David Zipkin, senior product manager in Windows Client Group.”With drivers, we wanted to make sure when folks upgrade to Vista that they have a smooth experience,” Zipkin said.
In mid-March, Microsoft plans to release Vista SP1 in 5 languages — English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese — through Windows Update and the Download Center, Zipkin said, adding that Microsoft will ensure that SP1 isn’t pushed out to PCs that have the aforementioned drivers installed. In April, Microsoft will begin auto updates of Vista SP1 to users who’ve chosen this option, and will also release the rest of the language specific versions of Vista SP1, Zipkin…

Microsoft will be deploying SP1 in two ‘waves,’” said Tech ARP. The first, on Monday, will include just five of the 36 available language packs — English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish. The second wave, slated for one to two weeks later, will include all 36 language packs.
UPDATE

Previously, Microsoft has said it would break SP1 into two stand-alone installers for businesses: a 450MB package that includes the five packs, and a 550MB installer that offers three-dozen languages. Both are expected to be available for download from Microsoft’s Web site. SP1 will also be offered to users through Windows Update, Microsoft Update and presumably Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). That update will weigh in at around 65MB. Microsoft explained the smaller size in a change-log posted to its support site: “Windows Update…utilizes an efficient transfer mechanism to download only the actual bytes changed.” I guess the following hours will tell us if this rumour is based on truth or not.

Microsoft claims Windows Vista SP1 will provide key improvements on the security, performance and reliability of Windows Vista by providing :

* All previously released updates since RTM
* Performance and reliability
