There's no official confirmation from Microsoft, but many sources seem to claim that Windows Vista's Service Pack 1 will be officially available starting tomorrow, March 18. One of these sources is Amazon, which lists the SP1 as being released on March 18. Another is TechARP, which got the RTM date on SP1 correct a few months ago. We'll see what the real deal is tomorrow when you can download and install it on your current machine direct from Microsoft.

Mr Smiley...if only the web wasn,t so Americo-centric! I think they actually mean the 19th!

So if you are in Sydney it might be worth leaving our PC's on all night...just in case

good idea Mr. Stone! the problem is that the computer is upstairs and i have to run the gauntlet... uh, i mean get past the wife and kid ... to make it to the stairs. i might have made a tactical error in the placement of the machine come to think of it. Hmm, i wonder how much space i have for a desk in the garage......
