Well, last night I checked Windows Update and sure enough there it was, Service Pack 1. I installed it in and went to trying it out and realized there isn't much different. No, it didn't install Windows XP and all of my hardware still works too. It turns out there were a few audio drivers that were causing problems and delayed the release. The list of incompatable drivers can be viewed here, and those problems should be taken care of soon. I'm looking forward to the faster file transfers that are a promised part of the service pack, but that is the only feature I'm aware of that seems like it will affect me specically. I haven't been able to test it yet, so we'll see how it goes. For a full list of features view here, but honestly anyone with Vista should install SP1 soon regardless. Download it by Windows Update Now!

For all you Vista haters out there I'm not trying to win you over, but I really like my OS and I don't want to hear from you if you don't.
