Re: Windows Update can't find Service Pack 1

See:

Windows Vista Service Pack 1 [may not be] available for installation from
Windows Update and is not offered by Automatic Updates:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948343

I would not recommend installing SP1 manually unless and until it's offered
by Windows Update.

Unlimited installation and compatibility support for Vista SP1 is available
at no charge through 18 Mar-09
