General Melchett goes Vista Ultimate SP1
Whilst General Melchett has been Vista x64 from birth, we Microsoft people were recently given early access to the final Vista Service Pack 1.
Last night, I downloaded the updater. Backed up General Melchett. Double clicked. And watched.
So, firstly a note to all. When the installer says 1. Several Reboots and 2. About an hour — both are highly correct. Please be patient.
After an hour. A restart to the login screen. Service Pack 1 is installed.
Everything is working. Networking, Remote Desktop. It is difficult to quantify any gains quickly: however the formal list of changes is worth a read.
