It is May 12 and Vista SP1 is nowhere?

We've got 2 identical Sony VIAO laptops (VGN-CR490 - T8300, 2.4Ghz, 3GB RAM,
250GB HD) with Vista Home Premium, purchased in March, all updates went fine
so far, no tech problems, but SP-1 is nowhere to be found.

I just keep checking the windows update, but it never indicated SP1 anywhere.

I figured that it may take some time to show up, but today is May 12 and
still nothing on either of the two laptops.

The auto-update is activated, there is no driver conflicts of any kind so
far, all updates were OK, there is no "update-blocking" software or setting
anywhere, so theoretically it should be here by now and installed, right???

So, how long do we have to wait before it shows up and installs?

Thank you!
