Vista SP1
 |
Available here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
And also through Windows Update (although I checked on my Vista machine before coming to work and got nothing).
So are there any improvements that you have noticed? Any new notable features?

or...
maybe it just hasn't been deployed yet. If you can, wait until tomorrow before doing anything about it. If not, just get the sp1 from the link i posted (it works, as tested by me).
I'm personally hoping that it fixes this stupid bug in Media Center that stops me from watching HBO and brings performance gains. Otherwise, I could not care less.

Well it works on WIndows Update. I installed. No performance gains noticed so far...but HBO NOW WORKS!
Just installed it myself; after 50 minutes and 4 restarts. Too soon to tell if there's any performance improvements but the System control panel now reports the 4 GB ram I have installed. (even though only 3.25GB is actually 'available' as reported by the System Information tool)
it is available on windows update unless it detects that your pc has problem drivers
took about 1.5h on my lenovo thinkpad
seems to make it generally faster, especially booting, file operations
and seems to fix/make faster a lot of driver issues
networking seems to be improved too
a 32 bit copy of windows cant use over 3.2gb anyway, and running apps can only (on a default config) use up to 2gb of that
only problem was it broke WMDC (for PDAs) and my sound drivers needed reinstalling
