i am using Turkish Vista.Can i install SP1?

[philthomas]

Full availability details :

Here's the timing for SP1 availability for current Windows Vista users:

• In mid-March, we will release Windows Vista SP1 to Windows Update (in English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese) and to the download center on microsoft.com. Customers who visit Windows Update can choose to install Service Pack 1. If Windows Update determines that the system has one of the drivers we know to be problematic, then Windows Update will not offer SP1. Since we know that some customers may want to update to SP1 anyhow, the download center will allow anyone who wants to install SP1 to do so.
• ]In mid-April, we will begin delivering Windows Vista SP1 to Windows Vista customers who have chosen to have updates downloaded automatically. That said, any system that Windows Update determines has a driver known to not update successfully will not get SP1 automatically. As updates for these drivers become available, they will be installed automatically by Windows Update, which will unblock these systems from getting Service Pack 1. The result is that more and more systems will automatically get SP1, but only when we are confident they will have a good experience.
• The remaining languages will RTM in April.

It looks like MS wanted to spread the Valentine love to TechNet and MSFN subscribers and is not looking so lovely in the process.

Vista SP1 is leaving many computers in a continuous boot loop.

Same problem here! What the hell Microsoft? Your damn SP1 preupdates have destroyed my access to my computer!? I'm watching it reboot for the 25th time!

Yep it looks like M$ have now pulled pulled update KB937287, which was a prerequisite to installing SP1.

Good old M$, you can always rely on them to f*$K things up

Looks like Vista is just as much of a pain for them as it is for users new to it
