Default Windows XP SP3 and Vista's new Service Pack 1 benchmark tests

Vista w/ SP1 still slow - latest benchmarks put XP w/ SP3 at 2x the performance.

I already knew this, but figured SP1 for Vista would be an improvement, but I guess I can keep waiting. My desktop is going to be sluggish for the wait for SP2! Ugghh! I should have never upgraded this machine!

I thought MS was giving up on Vista.

But Chock said you can set FSX's Auto-gen scenery to max on Vista while it's very difficult to do the same on XP.

My copy of XP never tasted so good.

This post made me search for XP SP3 and I found this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lif...vicepacks.mspx

There I could read this:
SP3 for Windows XP Home Edition is currently planned for 1H CY2008. This date is preliminary.

"1H CY2008" <- what does this mean?

I am detecting MS trickery on this one to sell Vista - similar to what they did to Crysis, until people learned to hack it.
