Maybe old news for some but it's new information to me.

Interesting. Didn't realise it was so soon.
sounds like another networking nightmare for me and my department....![]()

Not much changed then. I guess still convenient if you need to reinstall.
Can't grumble at a neat and tidy ready rolled roll up.

The fully patched bit and the fact that there have been a lot of patches since SP2. Some of which are cumulative. So it takes hours for Autoupdate to complete.
SP3 can be slipstreamed into the install set easily, or you can just run the one update from a CD once XP is installed without connecting to the internet first.

^ Gotcha.
I should have realised that. I recently reinstalled XP Pro and XP Pro SP2. The update side of things took a good hour or so - something like 140 odd patches.
I'm quite happy I've been keeping a batch file up to date for the past year or 2 with all the updates needed, and of course there's WSUS at work. Won't make much difference to me, but it's all welcome.
Have to say I'm not quite as 'excited' as cotswoldcs seems to be.![]()
It's just a maintenance release - SP2 was unusual in that it changed/added a lot to the OS itself. Vista SP1 will extended functionality by contrast (as well as contain patch rollups).
Thats pretty normal for final Service Packs isn't it? Win2K's SP4 was like that, so was NT4.0's SP6 if i remember right.
Yup - although MS do seem to be deviating from the norm thesedays - I didn't expect SP1 for Vista to bring new functionality (albeit extending what's there) as well as bug fixes.
