Windows Vista SP1

Windows Vista SP1 was released last week with Server 2008 SP1 (went straight to SP1 for the initial release to keep the same service pack level with Vista).

I decided to run it first on the Toshiba Tablet. Not knowing that to expect, it was pretty straightforward - just remember to check the 'automatically reboot computer' option as the install takes a while and it warns of this (though at least not 4+ hours like the beta did).

The tablet took almost an hour and a half to install, all reboots included. Cameron's computer took a bit over an hour, and the low-end test computer - I didn't even wait, I just let that run over night. The Dell workstation went the fastest, but it has the most memory and fastest processor (P4 3Ghz and 4GB).

I'll be trying my work desktop upgrade next week. 4 for 4 were successful upgrades so far.

Note if you do upgrade to SP1, to match Server 2008 the mstsc /console has been replaced by mstsc /admin
