Open Member Quote   Back a couple of years ago when I first found this forum I read and read other's problems and learned a bit. Then suddenly one day I had problems and turned to Cyber Tech Help for assistance and my problems were solved. Since then I have kept a number of programs on my computer....run them frequently and keep them updated. During this time its nearly as if spyware, virus and other nasties were never developed. My point is simply this follow the advise you get here...be deligent in using what is suggested and the internet will be a much nicer place. Its only when I see a friend's computer who doesn't use any "protection" that I remember there were such things as pop ups. Thank you Cyber Tech Help - Webster  Close Member Quote

Microsoft Windows Vista

If all goes as planned, the final stage of one of the most careful, highly monitored, and nervously anticipated rollout processes in Microsoft's history may at last be under way.

Web retailer Amazon is advising customers who are placing pre-orders for commercial, box versions of Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 included, that the product will be available for shipping tomorrow, March 19.

The full edition of Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 included is selling for $299.99, with the upgrade only edition selling at $194.99. Windows Home Premium with SP1 is selling for $215.99 for the full edition, $94.99 for the upgrade edition, which is geared towards owners of Windows XP and earlier Windows clients. Amazon's price represents a discount from Microsoft's suggested retail prices, which do not appear to be changing amid the addition of SP1 to these packages.

Microsoft dropped its Windows Vista prices last month, after more than one year on the commercial market.

The "release" of Vista SP1 has been a gradual, careful one on account of the fact that some of its additions were expected to cause problems with some existing Vista customers. After its release to manufacturing in early February, SP1 was made available over the Windows Update service, to customers who were ready to test their systems and who didn't want to wake up one morning to discover Vista had changed something big.

Later, the plan was to make SP1 available via Automatic Updates, but that process was suspended for a short time after some customers complained about their computers becoming stuck in an endless reboot cycle.

The commercial release has always been planned as the last stage, though its precise date has been left floating to allow for potential problems -- and there were some -- to be ironed out during the upgrade process for existing customers.
