Vista Service Pack 1 released to MSDN subscribers
21 February 2008 in Maintenance | Comments enabled

It has been noted on a few Vista blogs that Service Pack 1 RTM (Ready To Manufacture) had appeared as a download on MSDN.

As an MSDN subscriber, I can confirm this, and report my installation experience.

The download itself is about 447mb, and once that’s done, there is just 1 file to launch.

After you’ve accepted the terms, and clicked Next and Continue a couple of times, the automatic installation process starts. A few restarts later and your machine is ready to go.

The installation warns that it could take up to an hour, but in reality that was more like 30 minutes, which isn’t bad. At no point was I left thinking “um.. has it broke?”.

Once restarted, nothing much appears to have changed on first glance. A couple of my icons have been moved about, but apart from that… I can’t tell the difference!

I’ll let you know how I get on…..
