  No Vista SP1 bits for users until mid-March
Time: 13:20 EST/18:20 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Robert Stein

Customers who’ve been waiting for Microsoft to release the final Vista Service Pack (SP) 1 bits are going to have to wait another month or two to actually get their hands on them — at least through legal channels.

Microsoft released Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008 to manufacturing on February 4.

This is very frustrating. As far as I can see, MS want to stagger the distribution so they don't overload their servers. Microsoft have made it quite clear they don't like torrents, so how about distributing it using the MS Research Secure Content Downloader aka Avalanche that they trialed for downloading the Visual Studio 2008 betas?

Microsoft seems to be listening. Post your feedback on the SP1 wait here:
