OK, I haven’t used Vista SP1 very long, I’m the first who will admit that. But this afternoon while browsing the web, with nothing else running, I got my first BSOD using Vista on the Fujitsu P1610. The BSOD caused a reboot of course and upon booting back up OneCare stopped working again. I noticed also that the volume and battery level icons were no longer in the system tray where they’ve lived happily since first installing Vista SP0. Just totally gone. At that point since my absolute number one criteria for any OS is stability I told myself that if I experienced another BSOD using SP1 that I was rolling back. Not to Vista SP0 (without the SP1) but to XP. An hour ago I was trying to use the v740 EV-DO card in the P1610 using the new adapter that showed up this afternoon and during a simple connection to the Verizon network I got BS0D #2. Or should I say the last Vista BSOD I will ever get on the P1610 because when I have a day free it’s going back to XP. I’ll report here when I’ve done that. I hate rebuilding devices for no good reason.
