| | Through Windows Update Service. Pretty painless at 66 plus meg's, though install takes a while. The 66 meg's is only if you are totally update current. If not the grand appeared to be something over 440 eg's or thereabouts. |

Ya if you don't have the pre-reqs you have some updating to do before the actualy SP1 update will download.

| | Thanks Jason, it was almost by accident I read an article this morning that it would be out today, so kept looking for it till showed up. I am glad I was up to date as the other choice must be a little more painful. I really do not want imagine downloading all of that and then installling it, I guess would not be thrilling either. |

I read that SP 1 does some improved optimizing for performance, and after a few days of using it and reboots, there should be marked improvement. Please let us know what you experience. (Looks like you get to be the guinea pig)

| | WAW8, I have definitely seen at least good bit of performance enhancing in the Service Pack 1. Response times are much quicker when loading programs, writing data to disk, and graphics also seem much better in response times. But, I still see quite a few active x errors so; at least for me anyway there are still some rough spots. I guess I would say this Service Pack is a great step forward, though I hope they will issue another one eventually. |

What folks today forget is that XP was much like this. Until SP 1, it was barely useable. It was SP 2 that gave it the great reputation that is has today. Perhaps the same will be true of Vista. The only question is whether or not SP 2 will be out before Windows Seven.

| | WAW8, excellent reply and very true. I found XP Home not a real joy until it gots it's last service pack. What do think though, are they headed to all 64 bit OS at some point??????? I think would make sense but, I don't know that it does. |

| Well I keep checking Windows Update and it is not available to me yet, do Microsoft stagger the release depending on where you live? I live in Ireland.

| | This should be no problem here. Launch Windows Update and click on check for updates. If you by chance do not have all of the current updates and there are a lot of them, it will take quite some time to get them all. If you have them all, clicking check for updates in Windows Updates should produce Service Pack 1. You can always go to system in control panel will let you know at the top of the screen what version of Vista you have. |
