SP1 Available through Window Update

I don't know what methodology is being used for distributing it this way, but SP1 was available for me this morning on Windows Update. I have made no modifications to anything, so this is definitely the real deal.

My brother has 32-bit, and did not have the option of SP1. Could be only in the offing for x64 systems at this point. I don't know.

In any case, I expect your wait is very short if you have any wait left. Please consider that before downloading from questionable sources.

AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+, 6GB DDR2 PC6400 (800MHz) RAM, 2x Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4 TOXIC Edition (Crossfire Mode), ASUS M2R32-MVP Motherboard, Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi XtremeGamer, Western Digital 250GB HD

At this stage SP1 is only available for OEM Versions of Vista. Please be very careful as the Prerequisite updates have cursed a lot of problems for a lot of People

Re: SP1 Available through Window Update

Seems to be the case. Can't say I'm going to complain. Feels pretty nice to me.

Re: SP1 Available through Window Update

More info

Quote:
Microsoft spokesperson

We’re very pleased with the progress we’ve made with Windows Vista to date. Since releasing SP1 to manufacturing on February 4th, we have made Windows Vista SP1 available to beta testers, MSDN and TechNet Plus subscribers, as well as Volume Licensing customers. Today, a build of SP1 was posted to Windows Update and it was inadvertently made available to a broad group. The build was intended only for our more technically advanced testers, and was meant to only be offered to those with a specific registry key set on their PC. For general availability, we are still planning to make SP1 broadly available in the mid-March timeframe.
