Found an older review from Paul Thurrott about Vista SP1.

If you havent checked other sources yet, it could be at least somehow helpful.

My vista installation at work is already SP1′d and it seems like i dont have a single real problem with it. Great.

Read the review here.

It’s hard to believe that over two years have passed since Aperture’s launch. It seems like only yesterday that I was fielding e-mails from livid zealots and supportive professional photographers regarding my less-than-glowing review of the buggy, unfinished mess that was Aperture 1.0 (and see our follow-up look at Aperture 1.1). But much has changed in those two years, including a price drop from $500 to $200 to compete with Adobe’s Lightroom. By version 1.5, most of the problems, missing features, and RAW quality issues were addressed.

But there was still one area widely acknowledged to need improvement: speed. Users of Lightroom often cite its general responsiveness and background processing as the main reason for picking it over Aperture. It’s no secret that even after Apple’s many tweaks, this was still a big issue with Aperture 1.5.

This is where Aperture 2.0 steps in. Apple has also overhauled the RAW engine in 2.0, and, combined with the speed upgrade and Quick Preview, they probably felt that it was time to give Aperture a shiny new number without all the baggage of the old one……….
