Vista Sp1 – a Savior or Killer?

I am not sure Vista SP1 will save itself from the bad impression of many users, it still produced many incompatible issues and speed problems. I know in a certain test, Vista shows some significant improvement in file copy, but this is only limited to massive small files copy, big file transfer still lack of speed. Read on to find out if Vista SP1 is a savior or killer to itself…

Compared to XP SP3, Vista SP1 does not impress most users. Without the dramatic overall speed increase like XP SP3, Vista SP1 might just kill itself, especially in this surrounded environment of XP. Microsoft cannot stop selling XP, not when Vista is not mature, or other alternative operating systems will take over Windows’ market share rapidly!

Vista SP1 only repair some major stability problems and performance issues, it really disappointed us when it comes to speed! Having said that, I still insist new PC buyer get the Vista license over XP, because you don’t want to pay double when Vista finally release its’ SP2!

Unless you are only upgrading your hardware, there is no point to upgrade to Vista now, because XP is simply better than Vista! However, don’t forget after Microsoft release XP SP3, he will divert all resources into Vista SP2, expected SP2 to be release within 18 months from SP1. Therefore, you should still get the Vista license for new PC, if you really want your computer to be fast, equip your computer with sufficient memory and then tweaks Vista with some tweaking tools and “Unleash Vista Power Advance Guide”, should give you the satisfaction until SP2 release.

Vista SP1 is merely a survivor to defend itself from XP SP3, we are expecting Vista SP2 to be the real hero soon! If Microsoft still failed to deliver SP2 in time and effectively improve its’ speed, that will be the real killer! More users will switch to Apple, Linux or Ubuntu. Certainly, Vista won’t die, because the hardware processing power will safe it from major disaster, but we can expect Windows share to drop, a lot.

Ubuntu Linux is Prime Time for your Business Desktop and Notebook Computing Environment

As a business consultant, web designer and photographer my technical know-how around doing system administration on my Microsoft desktop is limited and sometimes I do require the assistant of my computer engineering son to get it right. In a Microsoft Environment, keeping updated with respect to potential security breaches and patches is a constant vigil. The rigor of keeping current with OS updates, Norton updates and Spyware updates is time consuming. Valuable business hours each week are spend and lost on this task of self-administration dictated by the Microsoft Operating Environment.

So with the purchase of an IBM T40 (a tough notebook), increasing system administration time was not an option. This alone forced an serious consideration of Linux as an alternative operating environment. That was five years ago. Now an established Linux user, I can clearly profess the capabilities and benefits of Linux for small and large businesses, especially, when it comes to notebook deployment.

What Linux variant is best for small business and notebook deployment in your company?

As a small and medium business development manager with Sun Microsystems, exposure to Linux and the debate around its viability was a daily event. Questioning and challenging the virtues of Open Source (FREE) Linux versus Licensed Linux versions like Red Hat and Novell SuSE continues to this day . After years of personal use of Open Source (Free) Linux, I can never go back to running the Microsoft Operating Environment on my notebook. And once you can get Linux versions of Quick books, Quick Tax and Picasa (now available on Linux), there is no reason to stay in that perpetual administrative nightmare world of Microsoft.

Having successfully deployed two Open Source Linux variants on my IBM T40 notebook over the last 5 years, a compelling comparison can be made between Fedora and Ubuntu. Fedora, the Open Source version of Red Hat, required the installation expertise of some Linux gurus from Belleville Ontario. It worked fine, but required some Linux ninja system administration every 6-9 months. Administration items applied during these visits included upgrades to Open Office (the open source version of Star Office), Linux OS fixes and new peripheral drivers. This, again, turned out to be a drain on my scarce time for doing real business.

Now the Linux called Ubuntu is installed on my notebook. Ubuntu by Canonical is a full Open Source Linux based on Debian Linux. Ubuntu is now available on Dell systems and Federal Governments are adding this Linux operating environment to their list of standard available OS’s for all desktop and notebook computers.

Right out of the gate, Ubuntu was simple to install. You could even bring down a trial copy to experience exactly how it would behave on your notebook before downloading and committing the Ubuntu OS environment to your machine. But the best part is that Ubuntu continuously keeps on top of OS and all related application software updates. Ubuntu has an Update Manager that magically appears in desktop tool bar. And with a simple click (and password) you are kept current on the latest versions of Ubuntu patches, any Linux application software you have installed from Canonical and Open Office upgrades.

With Linux rebooting your machine after an update is nearly non-existent.

Oh, as an added treat with Ubuntu, Ubuntu boots up on your machine in less than a minute. I still go get a coffee when my Microsoft desktop is booting up. An additional benefit of Ubuntu: there is no requirement for installing ant-virus and anti-spyware software. Ubuntu inherently repels these vial scourges of the internet.

With Ubuntu your system administration life will become simple and painless. You can spend more quality business hours selling and marketing.

Want to cut hidden costs in your organization that manifest themselves as Microsoft self-administration by your end users?

Ubuntu is a must for you or your IT folks to consider. Seriously consider, test and deploy.
