| I'm running Vista Home Premium, up-to-date, with no hidden updates; I've
| got scads of room on my drive; and I'm in Canada ...if that matters.
|
| I have read that Microsoft will be pushing out SP1 in April, but that if
| one wished to get it earlier you could go to Microsoft Update. I've
| tried this, but SP1 is not listed and my Windows is shown to be up-to-
| date.
|
| I've gone through all the reasons why SP1 might not be listed (installed
| already; problem drivers; beta install of SP1; etc) but none of those
| conditions seem to apply.
|
| So... why can't I get SP1?
|
| Thanks.
