Interesting Observation on Vista performance?

Previously, (pre-SP1) I allowed WU to do all the updating, resulting in
many individual updates being installed prior to SP1. Performance was OK,
but IE8 was a bit sluggish.
I have just re-imaged the HDD, and immediately installed SP1 from the
stand-alone installer, before launching WU. There is certainly a brisker
feel about the machine, and IE8 is definitely faster, noticeably so.

RE: Interesting Observation on Vista performance?

Have a look at your PC clock.

You're posting in the future.

Either your clock is wrong or your PC is set to the wrong time zone.

Are your time, date and *time zone* settings correct?
