SP1 for vista internet question

Hi all,

Just need to ask something here.

In my home we have 2 pc's and a laptop all with vista home premium.

Now when service pack 1 gets released officially, will there be a way of
downloading the redistributible?

Reason I am asking is we only have a 5gb per month usage allowance, and I
have seen that the sp1 installation requires around 1.5gb of space, and
would like to be able to download the sp1 just once, ratehr than wasting
almost an entire months bandwidth.

OK it might no add up to the full 5gb, but I regularily use around 3gb per
month alltogether, so downloading service pack 1 three times is going to
give me a bit of a head ache!

Any ideas?

Yeah, you'll be able to order the CD/DVD. Do that when it comes out.

Yes the full SP1 package will be available for standalone download.
