Overview
Install Windows Vista SP1 RC through Windows Update!

Windows Vista Service Pack 1 RC is available through Windows Update.
Experience the WU based Vista SP1 installation by following 4 simple steps.

Windows Vista SP1 RC distributed through Windows Update will be applicable
to Windows Vista machines that are running on any of the 36 languages
supported by Vista RTM.

If you already installed the Service Pack to your machine by using the
standalone package, you must uninstall before you scan Windows Update for
Windows Vista SP1.

Systems running on Windows Vista RTM require as many as three updates before
SP1 can be installed. These updates are permanent to your Windows Vista
systems. Windows Update will detect your system configuration and offer the
prerequisite packages that are applicable to your system. For details,
please see the instructions below.

Here are 4 simple steps to get SP1 on your machine.

On Vista RTM:

1. Download the command (.cmd.remove) script to your machine, rename it by
removing deleting ".remove" at the end of the file name. Run the newly named
script on an elevated prompt.
.. To run the script on elevated prompt, after you download the script, right
click on the file and select "Run as administrator" option.
.. The script sets a registry key on your system. The registry key is
required for WU server to recognize your machine as a valid target for Vista
SP1.
.. After running the script, Windows Update automatic updates would normally
automatically update your machine each night for the next several days with
the prerequisites and then offer the Service Pack. However if you would like
to install SP1 quicker you can manually do the next few steps to speed up
the process.

Not something I would recommend for the general public since it still is
BETA software. This is mainly for enthusiast and technical users who don't
have the availability of MSDN or regular testing channels such as Microsoft
Connect.

Well, I installed it this morning and no problems yet. If it comes
via Windows Update, I doubt it's a beta.
