Microsoft VISTA Service Pack 1 is out

[Malice]

Greetings all.

For those of you who use Microsoft Vista as your Operating System on your home pc, I suggest you upgrade.

BEFORE YOU UPGRADE
Please backup your system. Whenever you install a service pack, you need to make sure to backup your data OFF the PC just in case. Service Packs are heavilly intrusive on your system.

Make sure after you backup everything to a CD/DVD/USB Drive, etc....
Then close all applications and run Windows Update.
Please note, this can take a significant time to download and then 2 hours to install.

I've been told all the glitches have been fixed and you can customize all the annoying crap that was permanent from before.

I installed it with no issues. In fact I haven't noticed anything different.
