   Does it fix the lack of verifying a cd/dvd after burning it, its pointless to burn a disk, if only to pull it out later to find its a dud.

   SP1 is a step in the right direction, although I still miss the speed and reliabilty of my Commodore Amiga 1200, that thing booted up almost instantaneously (around 11 seconds) sure back then an OS was only a few Mb big, however I really dream of that speed for every PC owner.

   Of course Windows gets slowed down by sloppy antivirus code and other ram hogging programs, but I really hope that sometime soon that dependable flash ram can be placed on motherboards to significantly speed up boot times to around 10 seconds for the average user.

   There are some who have PCs that can boot in 10 seconds with Vista, but their machines are top of the line.

   Just a comment...

   Is there any way for Microsoft to mandate that programs installed on Vista cannot provide folders within the Start Menu.  With the advanced indexing features, it seems as though folders are kind of silly.  I would prefer just a list of all my applications.  I can set it up, but it's kind of a pain.  Just a thought...

   Running SP1 seems ok. At least it didn't break anything when I installed it (although the install was, as they say, non-trivial).  

   Just wish it didn't say "evaluation copy" in the corner of the screen.  Found a patched version of user32.dll.mui that is supposed to get rid of that.  Why do you guys do really minor but highly annoying stuff like that and then make it hard to get rid of?

   @shollomon, the current releases of SP1 are meant to be for pure testing. So be to any Vista System you install (OEM or RTM), that *Evaluation Copy* indicates that its now in testing mode. So, when next service pack build comes out, you know that you have to uninstall that build and install a new one. It becomes lot more easier for testers to keep tract of ;). Even if you run *winver* from your *Run Command*, you can see that there are some changes done there too :D

   I am just wondering why the SP1 RC was not built to allow for SP1 RTM to install on top, without having to uninstall it first?  Also, why not allow for the user to decide whether or not the evaluation/build message appears on the desktop?

   It seems that I always have to "buy" something to support VISTA.  My environment:  Windows Vista Home Premium with all updates.  Windows MovieMake does not support my Canon DC-100 DVD Comcorder.  Is there a special driver?  XP always managed to handle it.

   Sorry Mr. White, but to me, VISTA was rushed to market without support.

    I was stunned that ASIO drivers don't work with VISTA.

    1.) Will they ever? If not, what is the work around? And the final solution?

    2.) We're almost a complete year since the shrink-wrapped roll-out of VISTA, yet most pro audio interface manufacturers STILL don't have VISTA drivers! Same goes for audio.

    This is totally unacceptable. I did everything creative in my shop on a MAC for 18 years - makes me want to go back - and I am NOT a purebred Apple guy AT ALL. I'm just looking for a solid system that allows me to be a musician, not a geek.
