Did you make that up? That's so clever. I see what you did there; pigs are well known to be ugly creatures and lipstick is a form of makeup. Makeup is used amongst other things to make people look more attractive.

So what you are implying is that by putting lipstick (SP2) on a pig (Vista) the ugly (crap) Vista will be prettier (better).

However, the genius of your comment lies within the subtle sarcasm that you have oh so cleverly underlined the comment in. Thus your comment, although seemingly at first implying that Vista will be more attractive is in fact sarcastic, thus letting us all arrive to the conclusion that Vista is bad.

I literally have no words left in my possesion to describe the wit that has befallen my on this day, on this hour, at this time. I shall weep in remembrance of this occasion for many years to come...

It would be easiest to do if the pig was sedated, otherwise I think it would not approve of the forced applying of makeup and may try to harm you. Having said that I have personally never seen an agitated pig and am thus totally ignorant of the danger that an angry pig would pose to my safety.

Can any one who has seen a pig in the above emotional state perhaps shed some light on this matter?]]>Dec 2nd 2008 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/windows-vista-server-2008-sp2-beta-out-now-to-msdn-and-technet/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/windows-vista-server-2008-sp2-beta-out-now-to-msdn-and-technet/

On that note I am going to go to bed and hopefully not dream about sodomizing farm animals with items of makeup.

Anyway, just had to vent a bit.

As for SP2, from what I read of it, it's actually adding several nice things (don't remember the details now, and too lazy to find the link) and if it actually delivers on its promises I may finally have a reason to upgrade.]]>Dec 2nd 2008 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/windows-vista-server-2008-sp2-beta-out-now-to-msdn-and-technet/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/windows-vista-server-2008-sp2-beta-out-now-to-msdn-and-technet/

I understand the concept behind IO prioritizing. That is theory the reality is you need a hefty speedy HD to handle the thrashing that Vista does. It got better with SP1. My assumption is that it will be further refined with SP2 and even further with Win 7.

But this delusional idea that 3 year old hardware should be good for an OS designed to take advantage of current hardware is stupid. You don't like it. Continue to run XP. Nothings stopping you. Or run Linux.

I personally think a successful windows machine just requires a bit of registry tweaking and disabling of nonsense features (like sidebar).
