Windows Vista with SP1 integrated on MSDN

Keith Combs is reporting that images of Windows Vista with SP1 already baked in are appearing on MSDN TechNet subscriber downloads. After checking myself, I find that only the English, French, German, Japanese & Spanish x86 versions are available thus far. Maybe they are still updating and the x64 versions will start appearing in a few, more on that later folks.

Keith is clearly ecstatic: "My download took minutes. Being first helps. It flew down the fiber pipe to my house at 1.8meg per second. I wish all my downloads were that fast. Your mileage will vary. I'm planning on "enhancing" my VM first thing. I'm going to enable IIS7, then drop PHP, MySQL and Wordpress on it. When I get it working, I am going to do a screencast on the process. Getting ready to record how to do that with Windows Server 2008 in a few minutes. Enjoy!"

He also mentions that the blog post is a rolling update, later he will post some more screencasts of the resulting installation. Thanks Keith!

Update: Microsoft have posted an announcement regarding the SP1 images availability on it's MSDN subscriber download sites: "The first wave includes English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish versions of Windows Vista with Service Pack 1. New files will be added every couple days, depending on server bandwidth, until all downloads are published."

View: Keith Combs Blog for updates on this exciting news!


(note the date, this is the slipstreamed version -not the standalone SP1 released earlier this month).

Just so people know, they've been up on connect for half a month now! since Feb 12th the Integrated ISO images for vista x86 and x64 have been up for english, german and japanese
#1.1 Neobond on 26 Feb 2008 - 00:25
Wrong! The images that have been up for half a month are standalone SP1 updates for x86 & x64 with multiple languages on 1 DVD. (I downloaded it when it became available).

I know this because I reported it, I have a MSDN subscription and what I am downloading now has only been added to MSDN in the past couple of hours.

See the screenshot smart ass. The only people who had the slipstreamed versions were a select few.

*sigh* all vista sp1 beta testers got the slipstream version... http://uploads.neowin.net/download.php?fil...name=sp1int.GIF

You said the ones that where up for half a month were standalone only, which is not true in the context of what I was talking about which was about the connect version also being up...

Yup. That's what I've had access to for about a week now.

First it was the .exe then about a week or 2 later they put out Vista with SP1 out slipstreammed on Connect for beta testers. This is old news. But glad to see it on MSDN now It's too bad Vista buyers don't get that, they shud if they call MS, and pay a $5 fee or sumthin.

So I can order a Vista Ultimate x64 w/ SP1 integrated, from Microsoft? Do I have to call them or is it available on their site?

Thanks.

Downloading now from my technet subscription! Will be much better to install this using a full install rather than the "dirty" upgrade!

(only getting 1.3MB/sec )
(3 replies) #3 norseman on 26 Feb 2008 - 00:42
I take it noone here has access to eopen.microsoft.com ?

SP1 integrated for X32 and X64 has been out for _sometime_, both in full and in upgrade form.

The standalone installer has been available there too.
#3.1 Neobond on 26 Feb 2008 - 00:46
No, whats that?

That is basically the VLK area of microsoft for people who have large licenseing requirements
#3.3 profets003 on 26 Feb 2008 - 02:29
yup, thats true. at our place we've got access to ms licensing stuff. seems that business w/sp1 has been available since late january there..

I don't see why this is such shocking news... I've had this since February 12th when Microsoft released the Sliptreamed ISOs to beta testers on Connect. They were even on torrent sites a week before they were posted to Connect.
#6 norseman on 26 Feb 2008 - 01:06
It is for volume licensing. (Enterprise, MAK, VLK) licenses for selected Microsoft products.

Can someone post the MD5 for "6001.18000.080118-1840_x86fre_Client_en-us-FRMCFRE_EN_DVD.iso" from connect and also the MD5 from the x86 ISO from technet?

Keith's "fiber pipe" is pretty slow, only a lowly 16Mbps. I'm grabbing it right now at 30Mbps (3MB/s), and it'd go even higher if the MSDN servers weren't RTT-limited, allowing only 10Mbps per TCP-Connection for me, and allowing only 3 simultaneous connections, thus yielding 30Mbps.

My "fiber pipe" (2.3km fiber running 1000Base-LX, 430m copper running VDSL2) allows up to 50Mbps, but Microsoft's servers aren't up for it, regrettably...

heres your nerd cookie for the day haha j/k seriously...your e-peen must be huge now, nbody needed to know about your fibre line.

Jealous?

I had to fight hard to get this line, even complained up to DT's CEO several times until they finally hooked me up. So let me enjoy this now

Nothing on MSDNAA yet, but give it time =D

Release it publicly for **** sakes.
#11.1 Raptor on 26 Feb 2008 - 05:07
For real.
It seems like everyone and their brother has it already. I don't feel like trying to dick around some torrent site to find a copy so I'm just waiting patiently, but it gets annoying when you see that yet another group of people have it already.

Maybe this is old news but even though I didn't see the stand alone Vista SP1 in the list directly on MSDN (for subscribers) I did see it here on a list of top downloads. I had to login to my subscription account to download it. I wasn't part of any beta program and it doesn't say anything about beta on it.
You can see an image here.
#12.1 kcobra98 on 26 Feb 2008 - 13:50
Your screen shot is for the stand alone installers. Not for the slipstreamed DVD's.
(1 reply) #13 JamesWeb on 26 Feb 2008 - 09:59
Can anyone get the MD5s for these?

Is there any way for a joe "scumbag" like me who has no special subscription to get his greasy paws on one of these integrated CDs?

I don't trust the torrent sites and I'm not even sure my lowly Home Premium oem license key would work on something like that anyway. I don't mind paying a couple of euros/ dollars/ pounds for MS to ship it to me. I would prefer an integrated CD rather than a dirty upgrdade.
