xable Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 It`s official, the vista sp1 rc is going public as of next week. My guess is tuesday as that`s this months patch cycle day.. "Today we're making available the release candidate (RC) of Windows Vista SP1 via Microsoft Connect, and tomorrow subscribers to TechNet and MDSN will have access to those RC bits too. In addition, the RC will be available to the public next week via Microsoft's Download Center. The release candidate phase of beta software is typically the final phase before the RTM (release-to-manufacturing) of a product and indicates that the code has attained a significant level of performance and stability."

tattoo113 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I downloaded and installed it with Windows Update. It took about 1 hour total. Also I have no expiration date and my registered code is the same, never changed. I tried the stand alone package first did't work for me. Goodluck.
