Yes, I know I have edited my post because I didn't realize it was on general release!

If you have a TechNet+ subscription then you will find SP1 as a standalone .EXE now listed in the downloads section.

Enjoy.

 

Thats been there for a while hasn't it ? I downloaded the .ISO and stuck it on a blank DVD for when I am brave about 3 weeks ago.... [ sill not have got around to installing it !! ]

[Dos_Box]

No. As a stand alone .exe, not as an entire Vista package.

[Dos_Box]

Anyway, it is on general release now

[Dos_Box]

Damm. Sorry everyone. It is only on TechNet+. It cached my details when I'd checked.

I'll have the .exe too then........

Thanks for the heads up.

I don't think so with what you get - I have Technet + and with that you get 3 free support calls to MS a year [ never had to use them ] plus access to a ton of excellent newsgroups and also software by the case load. All OS's, and other software MS have knocked up - [ good and bad !! ]

I am lucky in that I get the school to pay for mine, but even if they didn't I would fork out of it myself.

The free support calls can be life savers. They pulled my dead Exchange server back from the grave remotely. It took the lass from Microsoft 7 hours almost non-stop to do it. Very good value for money IMHO.

Hope XP SP3 arrives soon

 

I like Microsoft's naming policy - Windows6.0-KB936330-X86-wave0.exe

 

Wave0? Are they planning more waves in case users experience major problems?

[PiqueABoo]

Wave0?

 

Language support.

[Michael]

English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish it appears. I wonder what the reason(s) were behind integrating multiple languages in one package? Be interesting to see if they do this with XP SP3 as well.
