Vista Service Pack 1

The problems we have had on our Vista test machine from the early RC to the RTM versions have been solved with updates and patches, so I have been waiting for SP1 with anticipation that it would solve the extremly slow copy and network transfer I was seeing. I downloaded the service pack and installed it without incident and copy /transfer issues seem to be resolved.

There are a reamining issues with SP1 that are of interest to users with Zonealarm Security Suite, BitDefender, and Trend Micro. There are links to the vendor updates and advisories here.

Remember to turn off your AV when installing service packs.
