OT - Vista Service Pack 1 beta coming soon; expected to be a big one |
SP1 for Vista is eagerly anticipated by many, including those users
who have been waiting for it before they upgrade their operating
systems. The service pack is in beta testing now and will go to
10-15,000 beta testers in September. One thing you can look forward to
is a big file: about a gigabyte. Although that may not seem like much
when today's hard disks can easily hold 500 to 750 GB for a reasonable
price, to put it in perspective consider that the entire Windows XP
installation pack was less than 1 GB in size.

Uh... no. Proof of Vista being broken does not make Vista any more
appealing.
