SP-1

OK, who has downloaded this, and is it really working well? There are
so many listings in Google, where did you find it? Any caveats before
downloading?

TIA

BK

I've installed it and it works great. Here is a download for a CD image
direct from Microsoft server:

You should wait until SP1 is available via Windows Update.
It works fine but Windows Update will scan your computer
and download some prerequisite files needed to ensure the
successful installation of SP1.

Thanks...that site even suggests that it might be wise to wait, as
does Carey Frisch's post. I don't want to have something screw up so
MS's download won't work correctly. It's less than a
month...so....thanks again.

This is NOT MS server. Not at all. It may be a pirated copy or something.

SP1 is not available for downloads even for MSDN and TechNet subscribers. MS
will start installing it as part of their regular Windows Vista update
downloads in the middle of April. The MS server will check if your Vista is
SP1 ready, meaning that all drivers are available that are needed for it to
function. If some of the drivers have an older version that may cause
problems with running Vista + SP1 then the installation for your machine
will be delayed until the drivers will become available. Some of them may be
from 3-rd parties, not MS.

Don't rush with any questionable SP1 install. This may be malware.

Actually the link given on the page is to the OEM download serverfor system
builders, for the complete ISO for the SP1 slipstreamed install. Not much
use unless you intend to do clean install but it is the genuine package,

You are CLEARLY the WORST IDIOT in here!

Here are some FACTS BOZO BRIAN

LINK FROM MICROSOFT SITE for SP1
It looks like Microsoft has posted the final Vista SP1 bits to their OEM
site which is accessible to anyone that registers. The file is a 1.13GB .img
which combines the 32-bit and 64-bit update executables into one image:

"late Friday we made SP1 RTM available to individuals and companies who
participated in the SP1 beta program"

Why don't you go to that link and see what is there instead of taking wild
guesses and then posting nonsense.

It is a site that gives information and a link to a very busy MS download
site where you can (GASP!) download a full copy of the Vista 32 and Vista 64
SP1 DVD, if it doesn't timeout first.

The site download speed slowed to a crawl over a few minutes. Last it said
was a few Kb/s and download time expected to be more than 80 hours...I
disconnected. I'll wait.
