 I'm a little late to the party on reviewing Windows Vista SP1, but it's becoming widely available as I write this, so now is as good a time as any to write a review. However, I'm going to take a bit of a different tack with my SP1 review. Rather than try to cover every feature or improvement in SP1, I'm going to cover my experiences, including specific things that I have seen changed for the better and my recommendations in regards to deployment.

 I often run into people who can't figure out why their computers run so slowly. There are a lot of reasons a computer might be slow, but the common thread is often that these machines are three to four years old and were originally sold without much RAM. Memory was a lot more expensive a few years ago, so computer manufacturers didn't include much. Keep reading to find out if your computer needs a RAM upgrade.

 I have several Firefox extensions I need to use when browsing the web, but they are incompatible with Firefox 3. I really want to try the new version of Firefox, so I did some digging and found out how to force it to install these extensions. Read on to find out how I did it.

 If you're like me, you fumble around trying to pause your PC's media player every time the phone rings. The easiest way around this is to buy a multimedia-capable keyboard that has a mute or Play/Pause button. If you don't want to spend the money or you already have a keyboard you like, I have a workaround using NirCmd that allows you to mute the system volume from the keyboard.

 I like to create a directory that contains all my system utilities, which I call c:\support. Then I add c:\support to my system path so I don't have to type the whole directory name every time I use a utility. This article shows you how to create the directory and add it to your system path on Windows XP and Windows Vista.
