OK - to answer your question:

SP 1 is supposed to incorporate all the updates. It will install in your machine in three stages:
1) Download a small program to obtain the SP
2) Download and update the MS installer SW
3) Download and apply the SP

It will not be available in Windows Update until mid-March because there are conflicts between some drivers and SP 1. When it does become available, MS is hoping that the driver-writes will have fixed those conflicts. Either way, during stage 2, Vista will check your installed drivers to see if there are any conflicts. If there are, it will NOT offer SP 1 for downloading.

Please note that the Main Lounge is for discussions, not for requesting technical support. We have separate forums for that. Leaving this post here so you will see it when you login again -- but will be moving it to the Upgrades & Installations forum in the next day or so.
