Works fine for me, both on Ultimate 64bit and now on Ultimate 32bit, no issues at all.

No issues here apart from the incredibly slow installer.

More bad than good, my 64bit system is running fine so I'll be leaving this for a few months after release as well I think

I cant even get this to install. I click allow when the UAC thing comes up but it dosent go any furthur

I have the exact same problem but i have UAC disabled, is anyone else having this problem?

EDIT: I have found the reason why SP1 wouldn't install, the problem was Nokia PC suite, once Nokia PC suite was uninstalled the Vista SP installed without issue.

SP1 contains a new kernel (NT v6.1), taken from Windows Server 2008.

Other than that it is just a roll up pack of hot fixes.

Tried to install this and ended up having to restore an image as Vista 64 would not boot and could not be repaired either. Will leave it as Vista is running great without it.

I installed it on the day it was first posted on here and I got to say I love it so far.

Previously after loading in on the desktop it took roughly a minute before all the processes were loaded in meaning I could not access any programs which needed to be ran as administrator meaning I had to wait around for everest uac promot to be shown, nod32 etc. Now they are instantly shown once the desktop comes up.

Everything else seems more responsive overall and startup is twice as quick for me

Have to say im loving sp1 rc.

I had no problems installing it on an old vista build, which was upto date, and then decided to install it on a fresh build and it seems even better.

Finally the network copying issue is a thing of the past. My gigabit network is now working at a decent usage 50% and at decent speeds when moving files around.

Yay, that was the only issues that was bugging me, to be honest I've got used to using Sync Toy now though!
