Some Windows Vista users may encounter an issue with a small set of hardware devices that may not function properly after updating a Windows Vista PC to Windows Vista SP1. This is an issue with the way the device drivers were re-installed during the Windows Vista SP1 update process, not with the drivers themselves—these drivers worked on Windows Vista RTM and they work on Windows Vista SP1. This problem is typically corrected by simply uninstalling and reinstalling the driver. We are working with the manufacturers of these devices to get the known problematic drivers and their install programs updated, and also on other solutions we can use to ensure a smooth customer experience when updating to Windows Vista SP1 using Windows Update. For new PCs provisioned with Windows Vista SP1, this is not an issue.

WWW LinkThey fully know of the problems and are going to do this here. Make you buy another computer if feel like it! Thus manufactures have the running option to redo drivers for such things as with networking and most of all the chipsets. Real drag... Those chipsets are what run the USB and most any other hardware designed for the motherboard itself. So now we are talking of redesigning the complete system to run a new OS with an update. Which will improve performance if installed correctly and reconfigured so as it will accept the drivers for the actual system itself.
Sounds stupid as hell... But hey - it does make a difference and I've seen less of that problem since I redid my drivers [including chipsets]. Made one mistake though and it almost cost me. Ran drivers being reinstalled in a wrong order and my chipset was changing bootsector items. Thus I lost my boot and had to repair the boot order. But after doing so I've had nothing but good performance so far.
I worked with all 5 releases of sp1 and this last release has the best installer and the best performance I've seen yet.
I like Vista and will stand behind it. I'm not a basher of Microsoft products by any means. MS has done a lot for me and I'll stay that way.
But we are at the first service pack and I'm sure there are going to be others here in the next few years to come. Give it time just as we did with XP and Vista will be better than we ever expected it to be. After the next windows sytem, The Windows 7 as it is called for now. Being the last 32 bit system to be marketed. There is a new road map being laid out for the 64 bit virtual systems. Which will end all the need for a lot of security measures we use today. I look forward to this and am very intrested in the virtual type of system layout and designs.
We can only wait at this point as is Microsoft is for the manufactures to produce the new drivers needed to get SP1 completed. The release was only made to help with giving everyone what they wanted a bit early. Also with the proper information as to why and what will happen if SP1 is done wrong on your system. There is even a technet support forum specifcally for SP1. You may want ask your questions there and I bet there will be some really good answers to them. Found here at this link
WWW LinkAs to your problem that you show there with the time table for a copy and paste or even just a cut and paste. Will change drastically when the drivers are in a orderly fashion for those devices which are in use by said system.
That is just my opinon due to what I've seen here on my own system.
