RE: 65 mb or 427 mb sp1 dowload?

Hi,

My advice to you would be to go to the Windows download site and download
the full standalone version of SP1 (links given below for both 32-bit and
64-bit versions). If you place this onto a CD/DVD, it will be much quicker
for you to deploy if you ever have to reinstall your operating system. As a
bonus, both the 32-bit versions of SP1 and the Office 2007 service pack will
fit on a single 700MB CD. For 64-bit versions, you will need to use a DVD.
This can be quite a large update, depending on the state of your machine, and
problems can arise if your internet connection fails during installation if
you are doing so via Windows Update. Normal updates aren't a problem in this
respect, since they are generally much smaller.
