Microsoft has released two beta hotfix`s for windows vista which are recommended to all gamers and desktop users. However they are not recommended to companies since they are in a beta state.
Skyder lige de patches på min Vista stationære (Business x86) og min Vista laptop (Enterprise x64)
Nå allerede første ting man skal være opmærksom på...
Patches kan ikke installeres fra et netværksdrev..så ved I det 🙂
Med KB938979_x86 patchen får jeg en fejl når jeg starter den op: "Intaller encountered an error: 0x8007000d The data is invalid"
Har fundet synderen til ovenstående fejl. Det var min antivirus klient der smadrede filen (Trend Micro Pc-Cillin Internet Security 14). Efter deaktivering af antivirus og re-download af KB938979_x86 patchen ser det ud til at spille.
#4 Jeg har normalt også samme opfattelse, jeg har haft alt for mange dårlig oplevelse med BETA produkter fra Microsoft. Men i dette tilfælde vil jeg gøre en undtagelse, da Vista på nogle områder simpelthen mangler nogle updates.
Want to copy a file from one partition on your drive to another? As anyone using Windows Vista knows, it'll take twice your lifetime to finish. In Windows Server 2008, Microsoft decided to fix file transfer problems implement some new algorithms to accelerate file transfers. This change will be rolled into all operating systems based on the Windows Vista kernel (Windows Vista, Windows Small Business Server Code Named "Centro", Server 2008, Windows "7"), though how hasn't been confirmed yet. It may rollout as a downloadable hotfix (it'll be modularlized internally regardless) or simply integrated into Windows Vista Service Pack 1. We used fsutil file createnew to create five sets of test files for our benchmark. 1MB file, 10MB file, 100MB file, 1GB file, and a folder of twenty files, five files per size. For timing, we used the good ol' fashioned stop watch (the margin of error was acceptable). Although tempting as it sounded, we skipped creating a benchmarking mechanism via code, as it would be impractical; Speed is perceived (whether it be incorrect or not) by the user. During the tests, we quickly found copying small files (1MB-10MB) proved too difficult to time and therefore were cut from the benchmark. The other tests, however, blew us away (sorry, we're pessimists when it comes to NVIDIA drivers and Microsoft hotfixes)...
Figure 1 - Benchmark results
After some very lengthy re-learning of percentages, we calculated the transfers completed over twice as fast! One oddity, however, was the fact the speed indicator in the file transfer dialog remained at a fairly constant rate (48MB/s), giving us the impression the speed calculation code is borked. Despite this, however, these numbers are very encouraging given the hotfix's short life; we can't wait to see what the final build delivers!
