More b.s. from Reggie the Snark, who doesn't give a tinker's dam about

I don't have my kid's Vista laptop here to poke around in. I'd like to
call him and give him a heads-up. How do you check quickly for the
presence of a service pack? Right click "my computer", as done with XP?


I'm not sure SP1 downloads all by itself.

In any event, I'm running SP1 VISTA. Everything on this system is running
in nominal fashion.


Do you have a "my computer" icon on the desktop? If yes, please right
click it, click properties, and tell me if you see any mention of which
service pack is on the machine.

What I heard two days ago is that the Vista SP1 at this point in time must
be requested by the users. Sometime next month MS will start pushing it to
everyone.

Just what I've heard, take it for what it's worth.

about operating systems than anyone, including Penn State's ISC
department.

Windows Vista SP1 Is having a tough time getting into the Ivy League.
University of Pennsylvania tech staffers are advising faculty and
students not to upgrade their computers to the new service pack for
Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)'s Windows Vista operating system.

Thanks. Interesting post. Makes me more sure about sticking with XP.
