SP1 for Vista64

I may have missed something but I thought that MS would be releasing
it to the masses in March.

I keep looking at MS Download page and running Windows Update and
while there are "tips" on downloading, I can't find the file. I know
they were giving it to manufacturers first and then Beta testers.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Mid-March.

I read in this NG that people with Vista x64 were getting it already through
Windows Update. I've been checking and its not available to me yet. What's
the deal? Why are a lucky few getting SP1 ahead of schedule?

That was a glitch that MS corrected.
