sadly for him, think him only a bigger fool for playing this game.

If a Vista user was happy with their system, why the hell would they
care if the Univ. of Pennsylvania thought the SP1 was full of bugs and
did not recommend people install it?

It should not impact anyone who is happy with Vista and/or Vista SP1 at
all, this was for the people who have not purchased Vista or those who
have not installed SP1 yet. I do plan on purchasing 2 new laptops in
the next 3 months, and don't want to pay the extra for Apple, so I am
watching it closely.

What the hell do you care, dip****? You don't use VISTA and you aren't
going to do so. I believe there are two or three VISTA users here and
all of us know more about computers right now than you ever will in your
entire life.

As I said, you're just playing the snark here.

Get a life.

Excuse me???

If someone's happy with their unpatched computer, but 20 minutes later, they
install a patch and new problems arise, then it's obvious why the hell they
should care.

As far as the source of the warning (the university), institutional IT
departments are often the first to see a pattern. Your experience with your
own computer means nothing without more information.

Whooosh.

Harry is happy with his Vista, and therefore should not care about what the
UP IT department says about it, and therefore should not be attacking
Reggie for providing some useful information.

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.
