Vista Business x64 SP1... where is it?

I have two Vista machines, one Ultimate x64 and one Business x64 both on the
same LAN. The Ultimate machine has already installed SP1 (albeit
unsuccessfully) but the Business machine (which is a Dell laptop) is still
not seeing any update for SP1.

Why is this? What do I have to do to get SP1 on this machine?

Nope.

I am pretty sure the English language pack is catered for.

Nope.

Nope.

No device mentioned in the list is installed on this machine.

Nope.

Nope.

No hidden updates.

So I guess there must be an undocumented "Cause 9".

Patience grasshopper. It will appear eventually.

The released SP1 applies to all versions. There is no "Business 64
SP1" - there is just Vista 64 SP1 and Vista 32 SP1.

Reformat Your Computer And Install Open Source Linux Ubuntu 7.10 RTW,
Just FYI.

Thank you - done... although it did take 4.5 hours. I am assuming that's
because I am using PGP Whole Disk Encryption.

However, SP1 is not showing up in the updates history so I would not be
surprised if it is offered to me again when it does eventually turn up in
Windows Update.
