Will I or Won’t I

windows_vista_logoAfter thinking about installing Vista service pack 1 I decided against it. According to the vista blog everyone who can receive the update via Windows Update will, if you don’t, then there’s issues (I can’t get it). Here is the reasons for not getting the update yesterday; 

  • You have a pre-release version of SP1 and need to uninstall it before installing SP1
  • You already have it. To determine if you already have SP1 installed, Open the Start Menu, right click on Computer and left click on Properties.
  • We released SP1 in these 5 languages: English, French, Spanish, German, and Japanese. If you have any other language installed, SP1 will not yet be offered to you. (You might not even know if you have an additional language installed! Check the Language control panel to see what languages you have installed)
  • Back in February we announced that we’d be using Windows Update to help make the update as seamless as possible for our users. Windows Update will detect drivers that we know may be problematic when updating to SP1 and will not offer the service pack until an update has been installed.

Its only the last point that I don’t comply with, never mind I guess I have some waiting to do…

Its just sitting there now on my desktop, I just want to click!
