Installing Windows Vista SP1

I have been using Vista on both of my primary machines pretty much since day 1, and there have been some funny issues. Service Pack 1 is finally out and I have been a little hesitant to do the upgrade, mostly because I have been in the middle of a few projects I did not want to change the base too much during.

Since I am here at the MVP Summit with about 5000 of the smartest folks in the Microsoft Stack (man I feel intimidated), I thought this would be the perfect time to work on the upgrade.

The upgrade itself was very simple. I was able to start it then go hang out with some friends. When I came back the login screen was in front of me and all seems to be normal. I am sort of waiting to see how much my system has improved, if at all. The word I got from those at the MVP Summit is the Vista SP1 actually is almost exactly like Windows 2008 Server, which I like.

So if I have any issues I will be sure to pass it along. But everyone seems to like it a lot.

Windows Update doesn't pick up SP1 for me. MSDN seems to only have the option to download Vista with SP1, not just SP1 alone. How did you go about installing SP1?

I downloaded it from MSDN, so that may be the case at this point.
