Vista SP1 due mid March - over 300 hotfixes

Jan 2008

More and more people are taking advantage of wireless networking. Installed properly, it works well and saves cabling costs. Security is a necessary part of installing wireless networking. No security means outside access to network and hacking issues. WEP is not very secure but WPA does a better job. There is also 'networking over your house hydro wires' which is not advertised very much but works well in areas where wireless access fails.

Vista service pack 1 beta has been out for a month or so and has recently been refreshed. The final release is a couple of months away. If you decide to install the beta, be aware that it takes several hours on most systems. To install the released version, the beta has to be uninstalled before installing. You are looking at half day to do this. It does speed up the Vista systems and stop a number of aggravating issues.

Vista needs 2 Gigs of memory to function properly. Many new pre built systems are coming with just 1 Gig and perform poorly. We recommend adding more memory, up to the maximum your computer can accept.
