Service Pack 1
Installed Vista SP1 on the Macbook Pro tonight. Everything went perfectly smoothly, no problems with Boot Camp at all, and it seems to have fixed the one glaring problem I’ve had with Vista since it was released.
You can copy files at what seems to be a reasonable pace now. It doesn’t take several minutes just to “calculate time remaining” before it even starts copying.
I’m not sure if it was faster than it would have been copying at a command line, I’ll do some testing later and time some file copies, but it’s there’s no question that it has improved.
