Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1)

Thank you for your interest in Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1). This download will be available no later than February 22, 2008.
Windows Vista SP1 will deliver improvements and enhancements to existing features that significantly impact customers, but it does not deliver substantial new operating system features.

installing now

well SP1 installed successfully after having to do an Error checking scan on c:/ and install some more updates.... i think i have seen a noticeable speed increase but i haven't really checked much... so far system boot and windows experience check is all i have had time for and both seemed faster however i did notice that every score stayed at 5.9 but my ram dropped from 5.1 to 5.0.
nothing to panic about though...after all its only 4 GB out of a possible 32 GB
not sure if this has anything to do with SP1 but i have just noticed in device manager i now have AsusOtherDevices--EIO Driver. lets hope this stops the Nvidia Driver BSOD issue

If you mean the occasional crash near the end of boot due to nvlddmkm.sys, I've had it before & after installing SP1.

The 64bit release is available through microsoft update. The final release.

I have been able to download and install the Vista x64 SP1 after retrieving it from isohunt. The install took no more than an hour and rebooted a few times. Very smooth install process. I think there were only 2-3 prompts for user action (OK, Install, etc.)

So far, so good, at least for the first 3 days of it being on my system. I was able to transfer from HD to HD at 95MB/s which is a great improvement over the initial build's abilities.

Guys, sp1 is available on microsoft update, use it.

Why bother, Microsoft pulled the update, and as a result, people are resorting to downloading off of BitTorrent.
