Unreal.

Not 8 hours ago I posted about my Vista SP1 woes, and how I finally had to uninstall an added language in order for WU (Windows Update) to push SP1 to me. This was because, as Nick White described last month, SP1 was only released for the 5 most popular languages. The other 31 languages had to wait for an update. So, being overly excited for SP1, I uninstalled the added language on my PC, and the update popped on my machine.

Somewhere, however, there are a bunch of MS dudes secretly laughing up their sleeves at me, since Chris Flores just posted on the availability of SP1 for machines with the other 31 languages…starting today.

MS dudes- way to go for timing. Couldn’t you have released this yesterday?

Anyway, after I’m going to try to install the language over the SP1 installation, and I’ll update this post with the success/failure of the process. The Vista Team Blog doesn’t discuss the viability of doing so, but I can’t imagine that it would be a problem.

Oh. Two more things. For those of you who are wondering if they should upgrade or not, Paul Thurrot has a pretty good review up of SP1 over here. And Brandon LeBlanc has a decent SP1 Upgrade FAQ up over here, if you have any upgrade questions.
