For the last ten days or so my laptop has been telling me that Vista SP1 is available for download and is classed as an Important Update. As I understand it, the Updater will have checked that my hardware etc. is compatible with the SP1 before it was offered. However I am wondering how important it really is? I am still on a dial up connection and an update of over 400 mb could take around 18 hours to download! As I hope to switch to broadband in the not too distant future, I wonder whether the SP1 could be left in abeyance at present. I remember that Microsoft provided XP SP2 free of charge on CD, but I can find no indication of Vista SP1 being available in that way. Comments, particularly from anyone who has already taken the plunge, would be much appreciated.
