While Windows Vista SP1 is supposedly on MSDN, I couldn't find it. I've heard good and bad about it, but decided that I'd rather get it now, since it's in its final state. If you want it, you're just 6 steps away from getting it yourself.

1. Save this batch file to your computer (right-click, select Save Target As...)
2. Right click EnableVistaSP1.bat, select Run as administrator
3. Run Windows Update -- on my x64 system, I had 6 updates
4. Reboot -- only if required by updates in step 3
5. Run Windows Update -- should only have 1 update
6. Wait ~15 mins and run Windows Update again -- this should be SP1

SP1 is 120 MB, so it'll probably take a while to download and install. The other updates are rather quick. I've already noticed some slight improvements, including with performance. Enjoy!
