Comment Feed for Channel 9 - Mike Nash: Windows Vista Status Report and Announcing SP1 Beta 1 http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/previewImages/100/249503_100x75.jpg Channel 9 - Mike Nash: Windows Vista Status Report and Announcing SP1 Beta 1 Mike Nash is a corporate vice president in charge of Windows client operating systems product management. Previously, he ran the security team that created the new security systems and features in XPSP2. Charles got a chance to spend some time with him recently to have a very candid conversation about Windows Vista and to learn about Windows Vista SP1 (What’s in it? Will it contain lots of new features like XPSP2? Etc…). Of course, with Vista being out in the real world for several months, Charles wanted to get a sense of how the OS is doing in terms of adoption and, equally as interesting to an OS head, how are the new Vista subsystems doing (that is, is Vista proving to be as stable as we thought it was going to be, as secure? – the data from the Vista telemetry systems will answer these questions). So, sit back, relax and get and enjoy this Vista status report interview and learn a little bit about Vista SP1. en Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:03:58 GMT Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:03:58 GMT Rev9 Re: Mike Nash: Windows Vista Status Report and Announcing SP1 Beta 1 Thanks Rory!

For those in Connect, the beta is now online (confusing links but you'll eventually find your English / other language install)

When are expecting to go RTM or RTW on SP1 for Windows Vista?




Guessing, SP1 will RTM same time as Longhorn Server (since it's the same codebase, or atleast shared codebase)

This doesn't make any sense. For one thing, this video was processed EXACTLY the same way the other videos you've complained about are processed. Second, it's a MULTI-BIT RATE encoded file (the server streams at various bit rates depending upn connection speed). Also, I processed this video, so it's not a Charles issue....

Further, the Download file was encoded at 512Kbs to support complaints from you an others regarding download file size (this complaint made perfect sense and we dealt with it immediately)

So, there is not much real information coming from you that may help us understand why you sometimes have problems receiving video streams. I wonder if it might just possibly have something to do with Internet connection issues......

Sorry for sounding irritated, but, frankly, I am. Do you understand what a streaming file is and how streaming multiple bit rate video files works?

Nice, because one guy has connection issues we all get low bit-rate videos.

We will be providing high quality download files as well in the future (for each new post, not retro)

No, I am not an expert at streaming video.

All I know is I had no problems streaming video from channel 9 without pausing until recently.

The videos that have problems were videos that were really big.

My connection is fine as I have a download manager that I can see the download speed and it is as normal.

Something has changed to those videos that affects the ability of my bandwidth to avoid pausing.

Why call it a Release Candidate if you have no intention of actually releasing that version? It makes so sense.

Argh!!!

Tongue Out Bite me, I don't have connection issues, but I have an issue with having to download a 1Gb file which is mainly just a portrait accompanying the interesting (audio) discussion.

There's more than one of us who don't like the massive download sizes.

The changing of software development status names is annoying, this one especially. Beta is what used to be Alpha and Release Candidate is what used to be Beta.

That's a peculiar assertion... Where did the idea that the labels had all changed meanings come from?

Didn't WHS actually release their release candidate?

I'm not arguing the need for smaller downloads (and larger ones) and we will be providing both, but if you truly do find that all you want is the audio then note the WMA/MP3 links below the video... you can grab that and have a much smaller download.

It's not very encouraging that I can't find any reference to trustedinstaller.exe in the SP1 white paper, but perhaps it's covered by something else. Anyone who had the same issue able to confirm that it was fixed? Maybe someone from the team can comment on it?

I like having a video focused on the person being interviewed.

Well, unless it's a video of a marketer and then the only thing I learn is that the delivery dates aren't going to be met as they say "yes we'll have it to you on blah-blah date" and then scratch their nose.

I've been recommending to my Enterprise (many 100,000+) customers to wait until SP1 before even considering upgrading considering all the problems.  I will have to retract that recommendation.  Nash even downplays this as nothing but a glorified Windows Update.

I'm probably one of the biggest Microsoft fanboys there is.  The thought of owning an IPod makes my skin crawl.  Nash sounds more like he's running for Mayor of Seattle rather than really trying to address issues (or even acknowledge that there are any issues for them to address).  XP SP2 was beautiful.  I never saw a blue-screen with SP2 that wasn't caused by hardware failure.  With Vista, I see at least 1 a week. 

The security guys went too far and they know it.  Rather than admit it and fix it, they rather go down with a sinking ship saying "It was the right thing to do."  If the purpose of this interview was to lower our expectations, mission accomplished.

For me this was not progress but a costly mistake.
