I was reading through one of ZDnet’s blogs that deals on how can Microsoft overcome Vista’s image problem. I noted the following:
Microsoft says it has sold 140 million copies of Vista. There are 2,700 logo’d Vista apps (ten times more than existed at launch). Ninety-six percent of new system runing Vista have all their drivers just working out of the box. More than 200 enterprise applications are now guaranteed to be Vista-compatible. Vista SP1 systems start up in 45 (rather than 90) seconds, according to Microsoft, and shut down in 11. And, according to a new Microsoft-commissioned study, 86 percent of consumer customers using Vista would recommend it to their friends.
And it made me curious. I am a Mac user so I have no experience of Vista. So maybe the Pinoy Tech Blog readers can chime in with their findings, i.e. after upgrading to SP1, is Vista still a bad experience?

Upgrading to SP1 might fix Vista related issues but the problems caused by bad hardwares and softwares might not at all.
Most Vista problems before SP1 were user problems. SP1 doesn’t fix that.
i must say sp1 was more stable compared to the original vista…
