Original Message Sp1 is due in Feb 2008, but internally MS has already released stable Betas of Sp1 for Vista ( all editions ) which is said to speed Vista up, add features and eleminate bugs.

You do the trick by opening notepad and insert this :

reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionWindowsUpdateVistaSp1 /f 2> NUL
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionWindowsUpdateV​istaSP1 /f 2> NUL
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionWindowsUpdateVistaSp1 /v Beta1 /t REG_SZ /d 37d55f36-65d6-4fe4-9dc7-892fcbe6222b /f
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionWindowsUpdateV​istaSP1 /v Beta1 /t REG_SZ /d 37d55f36-65d6-4fe4-9dc7-892fcbe6222b /f
echo Vista SP1 registry key has been set. Please check for updates in Windows Update.
pause

now save that code with any name but with the extension .cmd , so that it gets a clickable commandline-program.

Execute it by right-clicking "run as Administrator" - otherwise it does not function.

Now go to WindowsUpdate inside your Control Panel and search for new Updates - you will be presented : "Upate KB935509" , it is not the SP1, but the needed tool to check for SP1 - so install it and it will tell you to reboot.

After reboot you again search for new Updates and see : "KB937287" and "KB938371", both needed to be installed, too for the SP1 to come in play.

Guess what ? Right, reboot and once again search the WindowsUpdate :

presented to you : "Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Build 6001.17036" with a size of arund 490 MB .

If it does not appear on your search, than repeat the above steps, it will show up.
