    yeah, SP1 is out already. I'm running it right now, and it's not a beta version. It's the final version directly from Microsofts website.

    only people with crappy Intel PC's (yes, Intel PC's since Intel screwed over microsoft with vista. read about it on tgdaily) complain

    it runs very smoothly on my AMD and Intel machine

    and is faster, more reliable, no software issues and looks better than XP

    Same, I've got Vista on my new laptop, and it's running just fine :)
    -- Vista SP1 has been out for almost a week now, and I thought XP SP3 was due in April?

    XP is frankly one of the best, imagine NT comes up to Service Pack 7a!!! :)
    Windows 2000 to Service Pack 4. XP is improving at SP3!
