From the Windows Vista Blog: 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.

So if you downloaded the lang packs, you can't install SP1? Stupid Microsoft.
Turns out I installed a language that I didn't use accidently. Removed it from Regional and Language Options and installed SP1.

It takes a while to download and install all that crap, I'm not sure if he wants to go through that again. I'll ask him. Thanks for the tip, mule.

I didn't mean that, they have a SP1 Wave 0 though with English and some other languages, and a SP1 Wave 1 with the other languages.

Shouldn't I use Wave 1 if it's for other languages?
Let the bitching begin..
XP is dead or diying let it R.I.P. ....... Take it out the back and shoot it in the head!
I had Vista on this laptop and after putting up with it for over 6 month, I just "upgraded[b]" to XP and am loving it. I only wish I had done it earlier but I truly wanted to give Vista a try.
And before you start with your HW rants, yes this laptop has enough power (plus more) to have run Vista quite well.
