No Ult came with SP1 and the Def update internal failed miserably but the
second try using the direct download worked but it still gave me one more
BSoD, but it wasnt that bad. The main thing is that although both places are
offering the same version, the implementation or installation thru the
internal updater in defender must behave differently in some
not-so-publicized way. why not just make things that work BEFORE you release
to media? thanks yet again, Micro$oft!!! This thread may now be
locked/closed. Thank you those of you who replied including myself. lol.
