[AccessD] The 2008 "stuff"

Hello John,

Vista Ultimate coming together with SP1 shouldn't be an issue - the issue
AFAIU was automatic update for Vista SP1 with some drivers not getting
properly installed by thus making automated update hanging...

...but I seems to get my DELL Inspiron 9400 with Vista Ultimate updated well
right now: I have seen this "trouble info message '0% updated do not switch
off your computer' when Vista update restarted my PC and it looked like my
notebook got stuck but then it continued well in several minutes, and it
successfully finished update, although I do not see is that SP1 or not in
the Computer->Properties window - how can I find I got Vista SP1 installed
?:-) Special build number should displayed somewhere???

...BTW, I have got this Vista Ultimate update installed in parallel with
installation of VS2008 Prof. on the same notebook, and I have all that stuff
running OK now...

This Vista edition comes with SP1, no choice.

Hi John and Gustav,

I have Vista Ultimate and MS Office 2007 and MS SQL 2005 and VS2005 on DELL
Inspiron 9400 for almost a year now. No any issues. But I must say I didn't
try to apply Vista SP1 after rumors that it results in troubles

I do plan to install VS2008 on this notebook this weekend hopefully...

Hi John

Well? Go for it or get labelled as a chicken!

I put it on my home computer - which is mostly used for development - and
VS2008 and I love it. So does my wife - Vista is on her computer as well.
The look and feel of Vista with Avalon Aero graphics is so much nicer than
the Fisher-Price WinXP. My computer at work is still XP but I had to apply
the "Classic look".

I am actually considering installing that Vista Ultimate on my laptop.  My
laptop has been acting strangely and I just got an entire replacement from
Dell.  I am looking at a clean install of the Vista Ultimate on one hard
drive and Xp Pro on another.  Then later perhaps move both to virtual
machines.
