Why you have so few restore points - answered!

Lovely, thanks.

I appreciate how long this endeavor took

hehehe...no you don't and we all know you don't. Hell you're even too
stupid to get one little install of Vista to run properly.
You are the quintessential big mouth moron idiot wannabe.
If google didn't exist, I doubt you would either.

Funny you say that. I got SP1 off Windows update and after it crapped all
over my very well running Vista pre SP1, I tried to use restore mode. Not
there. Gone. No restore to go back to in order to undo this "crime" to my
computer!

Why would you install SP1 if you claim to have had "very well running Vista
pre SP1"? Surely it couldn't have been running that well if you thought you
needed to fix it with SP1.
