Vista SP1 on Technet and MSDN

[Stonedofmoo]

I'd imagine most people already know, but SP1 is now available on MSDN and Technet.

I downloaded it from here and curiously it didn't actually ask me to log in so maybe its available to everyone

x64 bit http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/...ja_windows_vista_service_pack_1_x64_72328.exe

x86 bit http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/...ja_windows_vista_service_pack_1_x86_72327.exe

this will get raped today

Is this the Final one?

 

[Stonedofmoo]

Yes, it's official, direct from MS, 100% final

It's a large file because it's multi language. The plain English install won't be as big but beggers can't be choosers

Oh and don't install this is you are a Network Admin as it removes Group Policy Managment and M$ are yet to release an updated SP1 version.

How exactly do you mean that it removes group policy management? i've installed it on my box and i'm still getting GPs applied to my machine

A quote from here http://technet2.microsoft.com/Windo...f706-401e-abb5-eec42ea0a03e1033.mspx?mfr=true .

"Feature or API Changes
• GPMC (Group Policy Management Console) will be uninstalled with Service Pack 1 and GPEdit will default to Local Group Policy editing. Following these changes, SP1 users can download an updated version of GPMC which will include new Group Policy capabilities including adding comments to GPOs or individual settings and searching for specific Group Policy settings.

[Stonedofmoo]

Yeah except MS have not released that GPO management update yet.

 

[CossackNoodle]

if these versions are the final ones how long do you think it releases on windows update? I wasn't expecting it so soon had a pretty big update on 13th

[Fr0dders]

im getting the same error

do you need to be a paid up member of technet to get this, as i only receive the newsletter ?

 

[MeatLoaf]

Hopefully it will be on a torrent soon

 

[Slinky1989]

Hopefully it will be on a torrent soon

Just give it a couple o' minutes Some one wil have it up soon

 

[Stonedofmoo]

Well from what people were saying SP1 already is on torrent. I just didn't fancy getting it from an untrustworthy source.

Don't worry, it will be up for general release soon enough anyhow.

Just to add to discussion we just finished installing it on a x86 Vista PC and the file copy performance is a world apart from the gold release of Vista. MUCH faster!
