Vista X64 Service Pack 1 "pushed" out to my PC yesterday

Hi hope somebody might be able to enlighten me.

Yesterday I turned on my newly build Vista X64 machine and in the update
options I was offered Service Pack 1.

I downloaded and installed it and about 30 mins later was up and running
again.

Very pleased that it's solved one or two issues for me, however I am
somewhat confussed.


The general "release" date is published as being in March !


Are Microsoft offering it to some customers early in order to build up a
installed user base of those already running Service pack 1?


I've got no issues with that, I am just interested to know.

Very happy with my 64 bit Vista by the way

How about SP1½? Sounds very Harry Potter-ish.
