Vista Sevice Packs

Can anyone tell me the truth about Vista sevice packs:
1. How may are there.
2. Is it true that installing them leads to more problems than before
installing them?
(Feedback from searchibng the internet)

Thanks in advance

Of course not.

No problem. Glad to help.

There is only SP1. I have had it installed since it was released and while
it doesn't fix the stuff I hate about Vista I have had fewer technical
issues. Like it works better with my three monitors and two video cards. I
have less trouble with it forgetting the resolution on my 30" screen.

Vista is still cr@p and always will be. Microsoft as usual designed for the
idiots in the world instead of real user's.

There have been a lot of people who have had problems after installing SP1,
which is the only SP for Vista. There have also been some who have not had
problems. Don't forget, people hardly ever report when there are no problems
but yell like crazy when there are. I installed SP1 and it totally
stabilized my machine. I went from daily crashes to 1 crash since March,
which was my fault anyway.

So, the bottom line is your mileage will very.

One. It was just released a few weeks ago.

Of course not. The idea is nonsense. Whenever anything new comes
out--whether it's a service pack, an individual hotfix, or a whole new
operating system--there are always a certain number of people who have
problems with it--because they've installed it wrong, because they
have an unusual combination of hardware components, because they are
uninfected with malware, or because of any of a number of other
possible reasons. Yes, you see problems when searching the internet;
the people with these problems are the most vocal because they are the
ones who are looking for solutions to their problems. But the great
majority of people have no problems at all.

Vista SP1 works just fine here, as do all three service packs I've
installed on my XP machines.

Frank is dimwitted because he doesn't understand a simple question.

Never take an MVP's advice when asking if a Microsoft product is good or
bad, unless he tells you it's bad.

So why are you using Hotmail then? Dork.

You stupid MVP wannabe, you think that's my email address? Dermot, don't
listen to Gordon either. He's dumber than a box of rocks.
