I keep refreshing the "check for updates" and what do I get "Windows is up
to date" and no service pack 1, such frustration. With all of these articles
of people installing sp1 one would think it would be available. But, I did
read on several articles it would be available to windows vista users that
use "automatic updates" in mid-april? is this true? Whereas people who order
vista with sp1 on amazon and overnight it can have the update tomorrow.

Thanks, Carey. Is it all right if I use the large file d/l for one
computer update or is there some significant reason that I should wait
another month for the Windows Update version? I don't mind the large d/l.
I just wondered of both would do just as well on a Home Premium machine.

Nothing fancy, just simple Home Premium.

Thank you!

You can use the large download. The only difference is updating through
Windows Update will cause your system to download only those components it
needs, whereas the large download can update anything. Frankly, I'd
recommend downloading the large standalone so you can keep it on hand in
case you ever have to re-install Vista from scratch; that way you won't have
to download it again.

Thank you! I'm still not getting anything on update. I want to check one
driver but if that's ok, I'm just going to grab the biggie.

I got it through my Windows Update for my 32 bit Home Premium system.

First when I clicked Windows update it told me I was already up to date. I
hit the "check for updates" option and got a windows defender update. It
downloaded and installed. Once that was done the update window popped-up
again and gave me the SP1 option at 66mb+ which ended up being a 70mb +
download.

3 part process to install that went well.

Yep, but my thought is to do a 'complete backup' before the upgrade.
Good luck, all.

I have 2 notebooks with Home Premium and yesterday one "pushed" SP1
and I downloaded it and installed it with no problem.

Nothing on the other one so far.
