What he said. ;)

No point jumping the gun on something as critical as a Service Pack.

Until the final bits appear on Microsoft's Connect website, I wouldn't trust any torrented 'releases'.

Anyway, my Vista RTM PC is working great, has been for over 12 months, so waiting another 4 days or even two weeks won't hurt.

There's no promise that the final bits will appear on Connect, and MS has given every indication that they won't appear on Connect.

Microsoft has given no indication that final bit's won't appear on connect. In fact they have given a clue that it will, if you read carefully.

If you have been waiting for Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista, well, you can now mark your calender. We just received word that Microsoft has scheduled Windows Vista Service Pack 1 for release to manufacturer (RTM) on Monday, February 4, 2008. That's just 3 days away! The OEMs will also receive Windows Vista Service Pack 1 during that week.

Microsoft will be deploying Service Pack 1 in two "waves". Wave 0, which is the one released on February 4, will only include five languages - English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese. The second wave, Wave 1, is scheduled for release 1-2 weeks later, and will cover all 36 basic languages, including Chinese.

Microsoft claims Windows Vista SP1 will provide key improvements on the security, performance and reliability of Windows Vista by providing :

* All previously released updates since RTM

* Performance and reliability improvements in core scenarios such as file copy, network browsing, and improved response time to resume from sleep.

* Support for new types of hardware, and several emerging standards.

* There are improvements to the administration experience. One of the most important changes we’re making is that BitLocker now supports encrypting for multiple volumes.

Of course, Service Pack 1 will also disable two common methods of hacking Windows Vista, namely the OEM BIOS exploit and the Grace Timer exploit.

i did with that ISO that's out there. It just feels nice to actually have it clean installed with it being slipstreamed. I've always hated upgrading, Plus with all my normal apps installed the C drive is only 6.98GB instead of the 12.9GB it was before. I installed RTM then installed the WU patch for downloading SP1 RC Refresh 2 and that just doubled everything. Now with it integrated i can have some space again (my C partition is only 20GB which is more than fine :) All other stuff goes to my D and F drives :) )

if 6001.18000.080118.1840 is the RTM build, I take it as those of us with refresh 2 wouldn't need to upgrade, since that's the same build?

If a newer build is tagged as RTM, you will have to uninstall Refresh 2 before you can install RTM.

New build ? 6001.18000.080131-1830

Source?

And guys, anyone claiming that <insert build here> is the final and is coming feb 4th, please post a RELIABLE source.

TechARP does NOT count as they failed to provide their source.

For now, there isn't any confirmed info, just a lot of rumors, and a leaked build that may or MAY NOT be the final release.

There is no source, ;) just people taking 'educated' guesses. We will know when Microsoft makes the build available to the public and probably not before.

And that's EXACTLY what I thought, and tried to say ;)

Glad to see some of us have a bit of common sense hey Frothy? :p

my suggestion is "dont download yet unless you actually know what you are doing"

as for vista, i gave up on it a long time ago

Then you're missing out on the improvements made to it that make it a better operating system than XP.

so 6001_18000_X86_FRE_LONGHORN_RTM_080118_1840_WAVE0.IMG is final build then? just want someone to clear things up...

On January 29, a Microsoft spokeswoman said Vista SP1 had yet to be officially released to manufacturing. The recent SP1 Release Candidate (RC) Refresh 2 is not the RTM build, the spokeswoman said. ?And we?re not commenting on the build number,? she said, when I asked whether the ?18000″ build number was the RTM version.
