To clear the air

Microsoft is indeed making Vista avalable with SP-1
integrated(slipstreamed) onto the disk.

Two days ago Microsoft sent me two new Vista instalation disk(x86 &
x64). Both with SP-1 pre-installed and ready to go. I have already done
a X86 install of Home Premium on my wifes system and it is indeed what
it claims to be.

So i belive that the media being sosld at newegg are also the same
animal.

So to clear the air...YES! You can obtain Microsoft media of Vista with
SP-1 slipstreamed into the disk.

Hope that settles it.

Thanks for the info...
but since SP-1 has been slipstreamed into the disk...
isn't it too thick now to fit into your DVDdrive?


<G> Hey just a bad joke...
move on now.

Hello Is this a "media replacement disk" or what?
Can you give us the details on how you obtained the new disk, cost, how
long it took to reach you etc?

Thanks

the image is actually "small" around 3.5 gigs more or less, it doesn't even
fill a dvd...(that a single layer has 4.5 gb capacity)
but what vista does is copies the data on to the disk then unpacks it and
installs itself,
that's why it needs 15 gigs to install vista...
lol

The previous ways of windows install was different...

But then again, you have ubuntu that has lots more software included and
its still only 700 mb and fits on a cd...


So yeah .. vista is the king of bloat

I just had a look on NewEg
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16832116493), an
it's a Vista install DVD with SP1 slipstreamed in - and it has a ne
license

It's currently best then to download the standalone SP1 installer (o
it's associated ISO) image

Again, I'm hoping Microsoft will release a full Vista installer wit
SP1 and without a license for those of us who want it. We can always us
our existing licenses

Do you want to see something non-bloated?

Try Damn Small Linux

a 50 meg download...
even folks with a dial-up can get that one in a few hours.

I use to to keep P-1's out of the recycle bin or landfill.


As to Vista:
considering that a 400gig drive or more is pretty standard...
what's a few gigs of bloat???

Clear Windows and Dzomlija. Microsoft and I have a...history. These
disk(with product keys) showed up via UPS along with Windows server 2008
disk, One Care disk and about 8 other disk. Unexpectedly.

I used the x32 disk(which is labled Vista Ultimate) and my wifes home
premium product key and installed Vista into her PC. After activation
all is normal.

So exsisting product keys do work with the new disk. But if you cant
obtain slipstreamed disk with out a license I also suggest sticking with
the standalone SP-1 installer.

But from now on I would expect anyone that purchases Vista should get a
SP-1 disk.
