Guys
 
As we all know Microsoft released first service pack for Windows Vista this March and tried to fix all broken things in Vista including bugs, performance issues, security issues, etc.
 
When Windows Vista was under testing, I found several bugs and reported them to Microsoft but to my disappointment, almost all of them are still present in SP1. Only 1 bug got fixed in SP1 but other bugs are still present and can be easily re-created. So I want to ask you a simple question! Do you think, its time for Microsoft to release SP2?
 
I posted an article earlier containing all Vista bugs which can be easily re-created on any Vista machine. One of them is as following:
 
File Renaming Bug:
 
This bug appears when you try to change a file name as well as its extension.  
 
First make sure “Hide extensions for known file types” option is disabled in “Folder Options“. Now open Explorer and try to rename a file. Type a new name and also change its extension, then click on empty area in Explorer, Windows will show a confirmation dialog box. Click on “Yes” button. As soon as you click on “Yes” button, a weird selection rectangle will be created from the point you clicked on empty area to the “Yes” button location.

There are several other bugs which are very annoying. So please take a look at the following article:
 
Windows Vista BUG Report
 
So after reading the article, pls post your opinions. What do you think, is it time to expect SP2 for Windows Vista?

I don't think its time for SP2, I think its something for even better.
Microsoft should dump Vista and concentrate on making Windows 7 as good as possible :he:

I like the screenshot  :love:

 

You pay money for Vista and you should get full support, if there are bugs MS should fix it (with single updates or SP`s)

I doubt they'd spend too much time and energy fixing a minor bug like that selection box. They should focus more on security and critical errors. Windows is way to vulnerable to malicious software.

I agree guys. If they can't release another SP, then they should release small updates to fix these issues.

A new bug which I found yesterday:

 

1. Right-click on the Desktop or in the Explorer and select “New -> Shortcut“, It’ll open “Create Shortcut Wizard“.
2. Now either click on “Cancel” button or press “Esc” key to exit from the wizard and get ready to see the bug.
3. Again right-click on Desktop and you’ll see a new entry “Undo Apply Properties“. Properties? Which properties? Did we apply any property which we should undo now?
4. OK. Not a big issue but try to click on this new entry and you’ll be surprised to see an error message:

WTH??? Windows can’t find the new shortcut which I never created. Keep clicking on “Try Again” button and it’ll keep showing the same error message again and again. Now click on “Cancel” button and the “Undo Apply Properties” option will change to “Undo“. Click on “Undo” and it’ll change to “Redo“.

 

Keep clicking on both these options and enjoy the endless loop unless you End Task of Explorer or log off/restart your system.

Well, I must say that you must wait till MS fixes all the bugs... When XP got stable, it took almost 2 years... :boulay:

Well it seems obvious that more service packs would be better, but Vista will never be as stable as XP by the looks of things and a new operating system would not be a bad idea since a lot of people hate Vista.

I don't think they should fix these minor bugs, they're too much fun!

 

God I hate vista so much :smile: As soon as the 2 year warantee goes and I'm off to Uni I'm getting a mac, regardless of what new OS microsoft has got out (Though they probably wont have for at least 3 years) vista has kinda put me off, especially after xp seemed ok (Though I prefered Tiger to it)
