Vista Service Pack 1 RTM

I am a little unclear as to what the Vista Service Pack 1 RTM means. Is it
safe to install? When SP1 is officially released will I need to uninstall
the RTM version? What does RTM stand for?

Thanks

Release To Manufacturing - this is the official release version which has
not been officially released yet :-)

It has been announced but so far it is not publicly available. If you
downloaded it from a source other than Microsoft it is suspect.

Release To Manufacturing.
It's typically the 'final' of any release.

Thanks guys for clearing that up. Is there a way to get a copy of this? I
am dying to improve my Vista Machine.

reportedly will be released to the general public Mid-March.......but! we
will see

It should be available via Windows Update around March Time, so assuming you
have windows update enabled to automatically download, it will do so once
the package is released.

In my experience, any MS upgrade will result in poorer performance. Then you
would really wish you were dead.

Not yet, at any rate. I'd expect it to show up there at some point,
but when is anybody's guess.
