When I checked Windows Update today, 2nd Tuesday of March, I found only one
new Vista update (.5 MB) which actually has a date of Feb 12th. I thought
SP1 would be available today for the "first wave (English)" version. I'm
using Ultimate installed by the manufacturer and have kept it up to date
(except for hiding unneeded updates like the foreign language stuff and the
test for counterfeit versions). Microsoft has a web page listing the SP1
roll-up files which also says that the service pack will contain additional
files not in the list:
http://technet2.microsoft.com/Window....mspx?mfr=true .

"This document contains a list of these updates with links to their
descriptive web pages on http://support.microsoft.com . There are other
updates in Windows Vista SP1 which have not be released as updates and
therefore are not presented in this list."

I believe its due later this month

As has always been the case...mid-March to mid-April depending on
setup/language etc.

Thanks. I wonder if SP1 will appear on WU without regard to the Patch
Tuesdays?

Most likely will.
