What changes are there? Depth Evaluation Vista SP1 system

The unofficial beta Vista SP1 on the internet is no longer a secret, but since the release of the download has been a few days, unexpectedly, no one really took the time to carefully analyze, to find out Vista SP1 real inner differences.

This weekend, I decided to check the registry and file changes of the Vista operating system with SP1 patches to find out exactly how SP1 has changed for us.

First of all, I can say with certainty that the Vista operating system with SP1 patches has a significant performance boost. It is clear that from Microsoft to the manufacturer to release Vista so far, it is dedicated to the Vista code optimization. In use, the number of hardware reads and writes is significantly reduced, the system is smoother, and the response speed is faster.

This beta SP1 is fully integrated into a 3.2GB Vista installation DVD, rather than a separate upgrade patch. Ironically, the SP1 version still carries strong traces of Microsoft's internal tests. Like what

\\6001.16549.070628-1825\\x86fre\\packages\\ServicePack "

While this information is not useful for everyone, it moderately satisfies the user's curiosity-because we have seen the internal release of Microsoft files in our hands.

Windows Vista SP1

First, the most significant change in the system after installation is obviously the system version number. The Windows Vista RTM version number is 6.0.6000, and the version number here is 6.0.60001 (full version number 6001.16549). Interestingly, by SP1, Microsoft will upgrade the Vista kernel to v 6.1, which uses the same latest kernel as Windows 2008, according to the original message. However, the kernel version of SP1 here is still 6.0, so we can guess that the spread of the SP is still in the development state, and the SP1 containing the latest version of the kernel upgrade has not been released to the tester.

Typically, the service pack does not contain new features--windows XP SP2 exception. Overall, the SP1 does not add new functionality to the system except for a new system maintenance application named "Create a Recovery CD". The new program's functionality is different from the general creation of a DVD recovery mirror for the system--a new program that will help users create a System Restore DVD image when they lose their original Windows DVD installation, or if they cannot access the OEM recovery tool.
