What's your rush? Do you really want to take the extra risk of
installing via WU when demand on it will be the highest?

Relax, wait a couple of days, and then when demand is down, or better yet
MS releases a stand-alone download, go get SP1.

Personally, I'd never use Windows Update to install a Service Pack on a
MS OS. It's just an unnecessary layer that can introduce problems to the
SP install process.

Just like the folks who camp out in front of a BestBuy store to be the first
through the door the next morning when Microsoft's Vista went on sale. This
mindset of always having to be the first to have the "latest and greatest"
is something to behold.

Cheers.

So, did your manager scold you for hanging around the front of BestBuy when
you should have been in the back working on computers?

Was that supposed to be cute, clever and amusing? If so, you, as usual,
only revealed how humor impaired you really are.

You use Ubuntu so you wouldn't know humor if it bit you on the ass.

DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD IF YOU ARE UPDATING JUST ONE COMPUTER: A smaller, more
appropriate download is available on Windows Update.
