That's rather annoying, I was hoping for an SP1 integrated DVD! :-(
There is a way of ordering replacement System Builder media (effectively the
same discs as Retail), I'll have to look it up again. It cost more than just
shipping costs though (about 24Euro I think)

I've done some digging, the Vista DVD install files are being hosted by
Digital River (for people who purchase the online download version of Vista
through Windows Marketplace), there's a link to download them if you Google
for it. You can create a bootable DVD from the files. The install.wim file
is the 6000.16386 build but presumably this will be changed to the SP1
version on or around 19th March.
So we may not get an Anytime Upgrade DVD with SP1, but making our own is the
next best thing!

Re: Buy VISTA SP1 Media only link

Can't find that link? Do you have it Brian?
I am probably looking or searching wrong. Not too good at that:(
