Vista SP1 officially released

[Beamhead]

Anyone install SP1 via Windows update yet?
I am waiting to see what/if any issues arise.

I've got vista on my laptop and I'm feeling brave so I'm downloading now. I've got the long weekend to play with it if there are any issues!

Posting this off my now SP1 vista laptop - It worked!

Windows update downloaded 66Mb and it took about 25 mins to install.

No ill effects and no positive effects so far - I haven't noticed any differences at all but will keep you posted.

Installed in about 20-25 minutes. No problem here.

I ran windows update twice to get it. I think there is an update to download first before it then triggers the SP1 update. Just try manually running windows update, get it to check for updates a few times - reboot - check for updates.
MS may have something to stop everyone trying to download it at the same time so keep trying.

Has anyone installed SP1 on Vista x64 yet? I've downloaded, just scared to install it. Maybe I'll image my Windows partition first just in case.

I just installed it ,(X32) no problems so far. I would like MS to leave my internet options>security settings as they found them.

Thanks for the advice but I tried to no avail.

I believe I have an explanation though: having bought the PC here my Vista is in Italian by default; it is likely that just the English version of SP1 has been released for now.

I've installed SP1 on two 32-bit laptops now, with no problems whatsoever.

SP1 in Italian downloaded and installled today in about 40 minutes without any apparent problem.

Has anyone of you who have run it for a couple of months now noted any difference/improvement? :candle:


Thanks

I have Vista Home Premium on one of the laptops at home...and with SP1, it's definitely connecting to the wireless network faster. Besides that, I haven't seen much improvement. But then again, I don't use that laptop regularly.

I always download Service Pack updates first then install them. I got SP1 installed on Vistax64 without any issues. Can't tell a difference.
