Vista SP-1 Upgrade -- Success

Today was the big day. The pucker factor kicked in when I pushed the
"Install" button ...
Only 2 reboots, and did not take long at all. High horsepower computer
pulled through just fine.

Yesterday I spent several hours preparing for Vista SP-1. I installed some
version upgrades on a couple of favorite programs. Cleaned up drive and
defragmented. Using my spiffy Acronis backup program, I imaged my Vista
partition. Just in case.

[upgrade weirdness] ... yesterday when I first booted up, SP-1 showed in
Windows Update window. After doing above prep, SP-1 vanished and 5 or so KB
upgrades took it's place. I wasn't sure whether SP-1 would appear again,
but it finally did after I installed all individual updates.

So far, so good.

Hi Link,

Thanks for sharing your success story. These groups have been cluttered with
so much negative post about SP1 it's good to see something positive for a
change.
