I've looked through another forum's opinions and benchmark of SP1 RC, and it seems to fix a lot of network issues, and made the OS generally more responsive. No improvement on gaming performance unfortunately.

uninstall it. It's a release candidate, not the final build.

A friend of mine has his laptop and 2 desktops set up for a local network but can't get the laptop with Vista to play nice. Will this help him be able to use shared files and printers on his network with the XP machines?

It seems its handling memory and resources much better. I've got it at work, and at home. Work is vista ultimate, and home is vista business.

Right, but I want to keep it installed to see how it's working. I'd just like to get the stupid crap off my desktop!

Did you read the install files, it takes a couple restarts for it to be gone.

Uh, it's still installed. It would be nice to keep it installed AND get rid of the stupid text on my desktop.

No, after the install the "Read-me file" said you would have to restart your computer a couple of times, after the install, for all their spam to disappear.

I haven't been able to install this, so I am not sure but thats what I read.

Looks like I read it wrong, it's there until you uninstall it.

Did some research and found this way to get the evaluation watermark off your desktop. I was able to install sp1 and this method worked for me.

Patched user32.dll.mui to Remove Evaluation Copy Text on Desktop of Vista SP1 RC1 » My Digital Life

After some experimentation and searching, seems this method doesn't work for 64-bit. Apparently, people have tried modifying the multiple copies of this file on 64-bit and it doesn't help.

Hopefully someone figures it out.

Tried it once more, used the manual method. Removed the indicated strings from both of these and rebooted. Still there. Verified with the Resource Editor app that the strings were indeed gone and my edited files were not replaced.

Hacked these two files so far.

C:\Windows\System32\en-us\user32.dll.mui
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\en-us\user32.dll.mui

Next...?

Finished installing SP1 RC last night

1 - I didn't see any watermark text on my desktop saying it's an evaluation copy I have Home Premium.

2 - It fixed the issue I was having The svchost.exe process tied with the Windows Audio Endpoint Builder service was constantly running in the background using 50% of the cpu. Now, it's no more

3 - It freed up exactly 25GB of my hard drive I'm guessing it was the page file or something

I'm going to load up my wife's PC during the holiday break with Vista, so it's good to know the SP helps.
