Vista SP1 is released.

[looqas]

I installed it on our laptop just now. Seem to be working alright. I have heard only good things about this. The one thing I have NOT tried yet is if it affects Freelancer gaming. So info about this is welcome.

The Windows update will not show SP1 since MS does not want to force push it yet. They gonna make it available via update in May I've heard. So you need to DL the whole package separately. It some 430MB big, but good news is that download speed is as fast as your connection (at least for me 750KB/s) is so there is no clogging apparently.

Anyway the release is official and valid.

Vista SP1 for x86-bit systems

Vista SP1 for x64-bit systems


As for the drivers that have problems with SP1 you can find the list here,

as well as a number of reason for SP1 to fail to install.


EDIT: I just installed SP1 and Freelancer + Disco work just fine.
