"
Microsoft has scheduled Windows Vista Service Pack 1 for release to manufacturer (RTM) on Monday, February 4, 2008. That's just 3 days away! The OEMs will also receive Windows Vista Service Pack 1 during that week.
Microsoft will be deploying Service Pack 1 in two "waves". Wave 0, which is the one released on February 4, will only include five languages - English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese. The second wave, Wave 1, is scheduled for release 1-2 weeks later, and will cover all 36 basic languages, including Chinese."

anyone know if this is legit?

cheers

Wouldn't bother reinstalling TBH. XP SP2 was a bigger update and in some cases benefitted from a reinstall. Vista SP1 is not going to be anywhere near that big and far reaching I'm afraid. Just lots of bug fixes and also drops in the new kernel from Server 2008. All very simple file replacement stuff that the installer has to do...

Probably not for a few days, perhaps even longer.

I was under the impression that RTM was it 'going gold' essentially, so not released, but gone to print, all those DVDs that will replace the current ones in the shops and so on. Last rumour I heard the standard release was the 14th.
 
You'll be able to download it from Microsoft.com tomorrow. Won't be on Windows Update immediately and even then will be made available in a "staged" process.

Chances are all OcUK'ers will want to get it from the direct download link at Microsoft :)
