I have a quick update for you about Windows Vista SP1. The Microsoft Update Blog contains some important information about updates to the SP1 prerequisite distribution plan. Starting tomorrow, we are resuming the automatic update and installation of the Servicing Stack Update.

In mid-April, we will begin distributing SP1 (in the first 5 languages) using the Automatic Update system. We have a lot of Windows users, so not everyone will get it on the same day. In fact, it will go to a small percentage of Windows Vista users each day. The exact timing of when you will receive it depends on when your PC is ready for Windows Vista SP1.

In addition to starting the automatic delivery of the first 5 languages, I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you that also we're on track for the initial release of SP1 in the remaining languages in mid-April.

Brandon, why don't you release SP1 version of Language Interface Packs at some location; MSDN, Technet or at least Volume Licensing site?

loukkis, that is a good question and good suggestion too. I'll forward it on to folks and see if I can get a answer as to why we release the Language Packs the way we do.

Any chance that SP! will correct the problem that 6.1 speakers are no longer supported in Vista?

@dovella

On April 9, the SP1 will be "offered" on Windows Update (user interaction is required), file size is about 60MB on a fully patched system.

On April 18, SP1 will be "pushed" automatically on Automatic Update service (no user interaction)

Keep it coming. Vista without SP1 is kind'a hard to swallow for an XP biased user. With SP, Vista finally moves like it should.

When Microsoft released Windows Vista's first service pack last month, you had to take action to get it. You could either download it by manually launching Windows Update, or go grab a XXX-megabyte file at the Microsoft Download Center....
