Microsoft launches its' most
advanced operating system - Windows Vista since 2007,
unfortunately it also introduced many problems for the
users, expected to rectify most of them in SP1.
Here are the 8 most serious problems encountered:
Problem #1
- Slowed file transfer and download.
Vista will take advantage of gigabit network and able to
transfer
files between them very fast. However, it
failed to optimize speed on a slower
network and local hard disks.
Problem #2
- Slow Internet connection.
Vista will be automatic optimize any network connection
using TCP protocol. But for some reasons it just slows down.
Problem #3 - Slow Boot Up.
Too many drivers and background services slow down Vista
boot up time.
Problem #4 -
Slow Logon.
Not only boot time, even when logon screen appear, it might
freeze for some time before user can logon.
Problem #5 -
Windows mail stuck.
Windows mail replaced outlook express in XP, but many
reported failed email will stuck and blocked further mail
send out.
Problem #6 -
Slow P2P connection.
For some reasons, Microsoft has limited P2P networking since
XP SP2, you need some "hack" to maximize P2P connection.
Problem #7 -
Hardware compatibility.
Many hardware's driver is not supporting Vista, expected to
gain more support on SP1.
Problem #8
- Failed to sleep.
Many upgraded Vista on older hardware failed to sleep or
wake up properly.
Lots of fixes released by enthusiast to counter the problems
long before SP1 is available, and those fixes simply just
disable some of the new and immature features! However, it
works like charm! In my next series of articles, I will
discuss about each problem and the method to "repair" them.
