it is the 18th here in Australia and no SP1, not even in optional updates. I see it won't be added to Automatic Updates until mid April.
i've used vista for 13 months now and i don't say i like it as much as i thought, its a bit bloated, in 12 months (i hope i saved enough money) i want to buy a mac and try. So vista has 12 months to impress me. This post has been edited by Izzy: Mar 18 2008, 04:31 AM |

QLD time.
checked again today (March 19) - nothing. [HOLY CRAP! Another 13 month vista user, except i have an Acer. I have an iPod, i need a new one since i didn't get a case/cover for it when i got it, the back is all scratched. I have been wanting a mac for a while and i made a decision recently, JUST SAVE UP NOW and it will happen, don't just think about it. So that is what i've done. (Sorry for off topic).] |

Microsoft is probably rolling SP1 out in waves to keep the server load reasonable. That is why didn't show up for everybody immediately.

took about 40 minutes to download and install so don't expect a fast download, it installs in 3 stages. My download was only 69MB.
I do notice my system has a bit more go in it now. My start menu was a little sluggish before but seems better now. |

The installation of SP1 empties all the caches and prefetchers so it will be a little sluggish until windows repopulates them.
