"Echostorm writes with word that Windows Vista SP1, which began rolling out via Automatic Update, has left some users' machines unbootable."
*sigh* I was hoping for an easy fix that would make Vista a little bit more manageable... Apparently, numerous reports of computers looping between the "Configuring Updates" screen, the "shutting down" screen, and upon restarting your computer, the "Configuring Updates" screen again. This would get exceedingly frustrating especially since, so far, there has been no word from Microsoft on a fix for the bug. Apparently, there were hints of this problem in the service pack's beta, but it seems as though nothing has been done to fix the problem.
On a brighter note, as Microsoft hasn't released the updates to the general public, there may still be a fix before it gets sent to users like you via "Windows Update". The service pack waves a handful of updates at users, including faster copying times, full support for the latest 802.11 n wireless adapters, and faster update times. For a full list of updates, check their changelog. It makes one wonder if these differences will be noticeable, helpful, or enough to make Vista likable. For my sake, I hope they update their compatibility with nVidia graphics cards, because the ones right now make me want to cry.
