Microsoft Releases Vista SP1 Beta

The Mac Sucks! — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 22:04:11 GMT

Yesterday, Microsoft released the beta version of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) to a private group of testers. Note that this differs from Apple's method of updating Mac OS X, in that Microsoft does a lot of testing before...

Hello, i am having trouble once the vista service pack 1 has installed. This is the second time i have installed it now and once all the updates have been configured and what not, my computer restarts and my audio icon has a red circle with a white cross in the middle, is says 'no audio output device is installed'. I have tried to update drivers but still no joy, once i remove the service pack then it works. :/ any pointers???

groffg, I was able to get in touch with one of our Bitlocker experts here at Microsoft to help with your question. This is what he told me:

"New keys will be created for each new volume protected. All keys, recovery included, are unique. Recovery keys can therefore be stored on the same physical device – like a USB Stick. If the auto-unlock option is selected then key material is placed in the registry, this is fine as long as the O/S volume is itself protected."

And yes the drive will be available at startup after unlocking.

Hope this helps!

So, if I'm already using BitLocker on my OS volume & wish to use the BitLocker control panel applet to encrypt a non-OS volume (D:), will that work with my existing USB startup key & recovery key? Will the drive unlock & be usable at boot-up? Thank you.

Windows Audio Endpoint Builder consumes a lot of memory, I hope this issue will get resolved with Vista SP1.

Also, Vista doesn't support A2DP Bluetooth profile which causes a lot of trouble. To enjoy wireless audio over bluetooth, one has to install new bluetooth hardware which comes with special device driver and has special capability and special software to connect to devices supporting A2DP. I have Bluetooth built-in my TX1000 laptop with Vista Home Premium installed and I'm not happy with the idea of using a bluetooth dongal to enjoy wireless audio.

I couldn't find anything related to Windows Audio Endpoint Builder and Bluetooth and Bluetooth in Vista Service Pack Beta 1 whitepaper.

If Vista can support other Bluetooth profiles out-of-box, why not A2DP? A2DP has been around for quite too long, is a widely known standard and I am more than shocked to see Microsoft not properly supporting latest in hardware and standards.

Please resolve these two issues in Vista SP1 (can't wait till SP 2 is released.)

Thanks.

PS: I also posted this to Nick White's blog post.

ttremeth, the "watermark" on the desktop is there because SP1 is currently in *beta*. Once SP1 leaves beta and the final is released - the watermark will no longer show up on the desktop.

The irritating thing about the service pack on x64 home premium is the watermark. Can not get rid of it using posts suggested in google searches. Can you make a suggestion please?
