True the standalone download is a biggy and that is a good reason to
wait for Windows Update to offer you the service pack, as a dealer you
don't necessarily have that luxiury.  The stand alone pack has multiple
language resources in it which is what bloats it somewhat.  Most people
who brought their PC with VISTA (that measn most of not all on this
list) will have only English on their machine therefore should not meet
the problem of localisaton for their language not being available.  That
does mean that some people around the world will have to wait a few
months for service pack 1 for their language to become available but
that has always been the case.  For those who have a brand machine with
VISTA on it you may find it is worth asking the machine manufacturer to
see whether they believe your system and its supplied software should be
service pack 1 complient.  Service pack 1 and 2 for XP broke quite a few
PCs in their day it is just so long ago that many have forgotton it.  I
would admit though that It does take a while to get the service pack in
but it is the sort of upgrade you would not want to do in a hurry,
however a few days seems a little excessive, you must have run into some
other problems.
