It’s official: We are now in the under-promise and over-deliver era at Microsoft...

Word (from various sources who asked not to be named) is Microsoft is gearing up to drop Vista SP1 some time the week of July 16. And despite what Microsoft seemingly led Google, the U.S. Department of Justice and other company watchers to believe, the final version of Vista SP1 is sounding like November 2007...

Hehe. I'm never satisfied with the performance - of anything :D
I'm fine with the HDD space. Besides, it's all those drivers and high resolution icons that eat up majority.

Anyways,
In addition to desktop-search modifications, here’s a list of other fixes likely to make it in:

* Performance tweaks lessening the amount of time it takes to copy files and shut down Vista machines (Yeah, I know Microsoft said Viista shutdown speed wasn’t an issue. Guess users weren’t so crazy, after all.)
* Improved transfer performance and decreased CPU utilization via support for SD Advanced Direct Memory Access (DMA)
* Support for ExFat, the Windows file format for flash memory storage and other consumer devices
* Improvements to BitLocker Drive Encryption to allow not just encryption of the whole Vista volume, but also locally created data volumes
* The ability to boot Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) on an x64 machine
* Improved success rate for firewalled MeetingSpace and Remote Assistance connections

That issue with file copying takes place b,cas it calculates the space left in the targeted volume as i know... but wonder why it takes time even for smaller files.

Don't know that. Vista seems to have more some inbuilt indexing (not Windows Indexing Service) because the file searches are 5-100 times faster than XP on non-indexed locations. Maybe it has something to do with this.
