1Frothy Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Thanks for the review :) You're welcome (Y) I wish Microsoft waited to ship Windows Vista until this milestone. Seems Bill Gates might just feel the same way. :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/612414-windows-vista-sp1-refresh-available/page/2/#findComment-589124861 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Frothy Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 I have also tested Bioshock and Crysis, both games are running well. Both feel more responsive and smoother with this latest (and last?) RC version of Vista SP1. So far nothing but (Y) for Vista SP1 Refresh.

kazuyette Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 ^^ I got a french system and used wave 0 . But in order to stop everyone : THIS IS NOT THE RC REFRESH (build version is still .668 ) !! So don't waste your time d/l and installing wave 1.

Tyke Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) IIRC you'll need to reboot again after you uninstall the SP to remove the "Evaluation Copy" from your Desktop. There appears to be no desktop reminder on the refresh, and no expiry date! Just rebooted and the reminder and expiry date reappeared!!

Eric Veteran Posted January 10, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 10, 2008 Curious, why is this? The EFI partition has lots of low-level hardware drivers. Windows wouldn't be able to use the Mac ones.

Maximum Error Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Managed to get it installed. Decided not to go the clean install route but instead went through and uninstalled the old version then installed this version. Whole process took 4 hours but surprisingly didnt break anything. Everything seems to be working well but having used the public release for so long now i cant actually see any differences between that one and this 'new' refresh! Anyone else found any differences?
