Download: Windows Vista SP1 Five Language Standalone

32bit Package (434.5 MB) (x86)

64bit package (726.5 MB) (x64)

Hallelujah..........

yeahhh

So what is the build of this one?

z3r010, it looks like you and I had the same idea - I was just getting the download of the service pack started in Flashget when I figured to post a sticky with the links.

You beat me to it. Though you might want to edit your post to let people know how big the standalone packages are. Now is about the time that I'm cursing Telkom for their [self-censored] ADSL service - Even with Flashget acceleration the x64 download is only going to be done in 6 hours!

can someone explain the x64 and x86 to me? i got home premium 32bit... which one should i download? help please.

x64 = 64bit
x86 = 32bit

so that means its x86 for me. thanks

For the geeks among us, if you want to integrate Vista SP1 into your installation DVD, so that if you format and reinstall, SP1 is part and parcel of the package, you can use the Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Deployment Guide.

i still can't see it through the WINDOWS UPDATE and I will wait for that. The file size there should be smaller and they might check the competability for the computer u r running.
