While SP1 is not a miracle cure all for Vista (just got done reseating network cables and trading ports to see why mine was dropping 80% of the packets to the network), it is slightly better and worth getting. If you don't have it, go to Start, and type in Windows Update. I don't think SP1 is going out over automatic updates yet, but it will show as a choice if you run the updater manually.


Start/computer/properties shows me

Windows Edition_______________
Windows Vista Ultimate

and that's it. Running Windows Update manually does not seem to offer me the option of installing SP1. It does give me the message that everything is up to date.

So, I still don't know whether I have SP1 installed.
