Windows Update spoof allows early download of Vista SP1

Ever since Vista was released, there has been discussion of when Microsoft would deliver SP1, and whether or not that delivery would be a significant milestone in the OS's development. Microsoft has downplayed the importance of Vista service packs for months, arguing that Vista is "high quality right out of the gate," but in the eyes of many businesses and consumers, the release of an operating system's first service pack is the point at which the product begins to shift from "early release" to "mature product."

LOL... I wouldn't be worrying about installing a BETA service pack. I mean if your system is running correctly, why mess with it?

Same. I'll integrate SP1 and reinstall Vista when it gets released.
