Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) RTM Available for Download
The wait is over. Windows Vista Service Pack 1 RTM is now available for download. Both the 32-bit and the 64-bit editions of the service pack are up for grabs. Microsoft confirmed the information leaked by Amazon.com at the end of the past week that Vista SP1 was going to be made available on March 18, 2008. And the Redmond company met the initially announced delivery schedule which pointed to mid-March ever since February 4, 2008 when the service pack was released to manufacturing. At this point in time x86 and x64 Windows Vista SP1 are both up for grabs either as standalone packages or through Windows Update.
“Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) is an update to Windows Vista that addresses feedback from our customers. In addition to previously released updates, SP1 will contain changes focused on addressing specific reliability, performance, and compatibility issues; supporting new types of hardware; and adding support for several emerging standards,” reads a fragment of the Vista SP1 description.
Windows6.0-KB936330-X86-wave0.exe and the Windows6.0-KB936330-X64-wave0.exe downloads weigh in at 434.5 MB and respectivelly 726.5 MB, being tailored to integrate with both 32-bit and 64-bit Vista operating systems. As Microsoft revealed following RTM, only a select few languages are supported in the March release. The standalone version of Vista SP1 can be integrated exclusively with copies of Vista RTM with these language versions: English (US), French, German, Japanese, or Spanish (Traditional).
Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Five Language Standalone for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the operating system is available for download here.

Nice
will that include the new “antipiracy” thing they promised?
hope there’s a torrent soon with the a full final release
at last! Vista needed it!
its also on digg many hours ago
http://digg.com/microsoft/Vista_Servicepack_SP1_has_been_released_as_a_download
yaaay! im a nerd !
I just download it installed it runs a little bit nicer!! its about time
Is that the same thing that was leaked in February or whenever?
Will Vista + Paradox OEM BIOS crack still work after updating to SP1? Anyone done it yet?
Will this detect 100% pirated copies of Vista?
works with dell OEM installs
coool
Works fine with x64 Ultimate OEM hack integrated build.
with the sp1 installed its better than OSX
paradox’s crack doesn’t work anymore after SP1. It gave me 15 days to activate. But i installed another crack from SHAHJiNN. It works fine now
32-Bit, or 64-Bit: That is the question.
64-bit FTW!
lmfao @ all the stupid idiots with the cracked versions of windows.
SP1 WILL detect and disable any cracked version of windows if you fail to activate it properly within 15 days.
If it hasn’t been detected yet then it soon will be.
You’ll have to wait and see if any bright sparks out there have found away round this and produce another crack which microsoft don’t know about.
I wish people would do some research before making comments and judgements on this.
its asking me to plug the laptop power in before I install but I’m in bed and couldn’t be bothered getting up, stupid Vista everything has to be difficult.
will this also detect the pre activated bios versions of Vista ? wen are the ‘proper cracked’ versions of sp1 expected ? ….and what about sp3 for xp …is it out ?…
thanks for the info !
@17 bitna,
BULL… SP1 will NOT detect *all* cracks for Vista!
Anyone intelligent enough will use OEM BIOS hack which is available free from forums like My Digital Life. That’ll work for years, but why bother to use Vista at first place?
can admin tell is there clean vista source with sp1 integrated. Like eht0 releases.
So what ! SP1 …vista still sucks !! The XPperience rullz ! Wait 4 SP3 !
bitna you’re an asswole. there are lots of working patches windows can’t detect. I tried SHAHJiNN’s and it woks 100%
stop being stupid and crawl back to your hole.
I hate stupid people.
Can anyone give me a rs link for SHAHJiNN’s?
Can someone confirm this won’t work with Realtek HD definition soundcard? have a lot of crashes with Dx10 +Vista +bioshock/AC all because of the freakin hardware acceleration problem..to bad SP1 will only make things worse for my sound..card
ms have advised not to install these on single pcs … saying wait until you recive via windows update (wu)
Why not just use a legal activation key?
Many of the machines in schools, workplaces, stores, libraries etc.. don’t have Vista installed, but when they buy a bunch of new computers it has Vista “pre installed”, but many companys/places don’t even use Vista yet, they just install/use the “old” working image of XP with all the applications and tweaks that are ready to go and working for their company’s enviroment so everything is working fine and it is easier for the admins aswell (for example banks uses this method).
This means that computers companys buy with Vista “pre-installed” has the serial code glued onto the computer somewhere (on laptops it is underneath the machine).
I have gotten literally hundreds of working keys by using this method
Happy hunting!
so much confusion…
can anyone confirm it is ok to install SP1 if you are using a vista version with the OEM hacks?
More specifically…if you have “Microsoft.Windows.Vista.Ultimate.x86.Integrated.July.2007.OEM.DVD-BIE” installed, will it work?
Any clarification will be much appreciated
So, if we have been updating Vista over the last year, with all of the updates that have become available, what will SP1 offer that we won’t already have?
meh no dutch version :/
@29 YES!
I’m using Microsoft.Windows.Vista.Ultimate.x86.Integrated.July.2007.OEM.DVD-BIE
which i think most of us are and the SP1 doesn’t change anything. Still works perfectly 100%.
@30:Streakfury
Install it. The service pack does include alot of things that weren’t updates. It will make vista way faster on everything and i had all the updates.
If you have the OEM bios hack you can install sp1 and vista will still be activated!!! i have sp1 since mid february!!
This is all very uninteresting. When can I download the NORWEGIAN language version of sp1?? Focus on what’s important damnit
where can i download it from?
@37,
You can download it from the internet.
I still don’t see what the difference is between this version and the SP1 version brought out by the end of February/start of March… But hopefully this one works out and helps with performance and everything
thanks for the link, RLSLOG!
@36 Norwegian version will be available with all other languages on 18th April…
Meh, I guess I can’t install this one; Windows says I already have it installed
haha! Oh well… Same thing anyways, this one probly has like a better version or something…
Took me five hours to finish installation.. my god..
Anyone got a reliable link for the SHAHJiNN crack?
http://keznews.com/2572_Windows_Vista_All_Versions_Activator_FF2_1_2_0_9_Beta
i already installed the service pack 1 a couple of months ago is there any changes between this service pack 1 and the one i have already installed
Thanks Zen, looks good =)
got the error code of 0×80070002, I use genuine vista home premium 32 bit, but from a vlite edition, google for a while just to found more people with the same problem. no solution yet, guess have to wait for sp1 integrated vista release.
searched update,cant see anything, stupid microsoft………………………………
until a scene released SP1 integrated is out, im not installing… haa.. who am I kidding, I would never install that crap, i’ll wait for windows 7.
Mazel Tov!
is it worth removing the old service pack 1 which i installed in febuary for this one or are they just the same
for the people wondering why they get an error using vlite …read news posts from like SIX MONTHS AGO … Vlite + SP1 = fail.
quote]with the sp1 installed its better than OSX[quote
ROFL. No seriously though, thats never going to happen
hey guys so i downloaded
“Microsoft.Windows.Vista.x64.SP1.OEM.DVD-BIE”
that I’m about to install, and eventually use the activation method from SHAHJiNN that was mentioned earlier.
my question is, should i install this version while connected to the internet? or install it offline and get everything settled first (turning of UAC, auto-updates, getting it activated, etc.)?
great site, great posters, keep up the great work!
ramble on. B)
I can see to find SP1 on my windows update?…..do i need to download it from the offical site?…
@58: Why don’t you people just read the nfo’s. Jesus.

Also, what are some improvements in this SP1? Do you notice a difference at all?
Thanks
Don’t really notice anything. It feels quicker, but maybe it’s in the mind! Knowing M$ it will probably make it worse! They always release patches to fix some things and then just create even more problems!
@33 v3dg
Thanks for that. I’ll be getting SP1 then, if it still improves Vista even after all the updates.
This might help some people
http://rapidshare.com/files/59986882/Vista_Automated_Activation_v3.0.rar
Haven’t tried it yet but it’s new so maybe useful, the rar contains the info below…
The name: Vista Automated Activation Crack v3.0
Platform: VISTA 6000
About the program: This master does not stop and does not block the timer, and makes official activation of system.
Data on the master of activation:
1. Start the master of activation. Wait works of the appeared DOS-window (it can it is occupied approximately 1 minute). After processing, the master will automatically restart the computer.
2. After reboot there will be a DOS-window which in 15 seconds, will notify you on successful activation, press a key the Blank and a window it will be closed.
3. On the control panel choose a badge “System” and check up an activation condition.
If the system was not activated change a key of a product from the list more low according to the version which you have established:
Ultimate:
Business:
Home Premium:
Home Basic:
(Full Codes In Info)
As a computer and software programmer for a Lndon based company I know and can confirm that Bitna is sort of correct.
There two known cracks to bypass vista’s activation but sp1 will install on your system automatically and will detect pirated copies.
These two cracks are the grace timer crack which extends the grace period from 30 days to the year 2099 and the other is the OEM BIOS crack mentioned on this page by some users which modifes the system to mimic the activation done at the factory.
Both will be detected and blocked by SP1 but not necessary straight away.Some users may not see the effects until 15 days later.
This detection will only take place by this new update and NOT the previous one in february but as I said this install automatically.
I would strongly recommend to everyone to re-install the OS with a valid product key.
I will post another comment with a list of keys when I find them. I only have the keys for the business and ultimate editions as the home and home premium keys aren’t listed on microsofts technet page for some reason.
I hope this helps clear things up.
Geezar,
The platform is stated as build 6000 (pre sp1) whereas sp1 is build 6001.
In other words it won’t work.
I’d be very surprised if it does long term.
Oh I forgot to mention there is a tool that blocks sp1 from installing automatically if you’re not fussed about it.

really x64 has for x32 too, i cant find link to say that!
Windows SP1 just destroyed my computer. It was stuck in a restart loop for a while, and now it’s been trying to system restore for 45 minutes. Sigh…
Worked for me.
My version is a OEM version so no need for cracks or BIOS cracks. Only noobs use cracks for OS’.
1) I have a pirated copy of Vista Ultimate x64.
2) Updated through WIndows Update
3) Auto-downloaded 121mb
4) Went through 3 stages of installation.
5) Rebooted
6) Completed installation
7) Vista seems to run a tad smoother.
leetay do you work for Bill in Microsoft?
I’m sorry but you’re so wrong… it detects Paradox’s crack but many others and Dell OEM work without problem.
holy sh@% with the new service pack 1 can now see that i have 4g of ram instead of 3.4 after u done the updates check your system /To determine if you already have SP1 installed, Open the Start Menu, right click on Computer and left click on Properties. by the way cannot log onto forum …xvion
@ 65: I’m a programmer blah, blah, blah, whatever. Please try harder.
1. Even if there was detection, there is no “Kill Switch”, only nags.
2. I have had SP1 running for well over 15 days.
3. You’re a n00b
hi anyone tried the update on this version
called ice no limits …. ice ice baby !!!
Microsoft.Windows.Vista.Ultimate.x86.Permanantly.Activated
was going to do it myself but iv reached download limit .have to wait till next week getting new isp server
@”Took me five hours to finish installation.. my god..”
Two tin cans with a pice of string? 9600 baud modem? 486 processor? 64MB RAM?
5 hours to finish installation? You need a lot more than SP1, more like a reformat.
What boggles me is that you WAITED 5 hours to install it!?!? or was it 20 mins and you, as with most people these days, think 20 mins = 5 hours?
@xvion … you’re running 32-bit right?
Cuz on 64-bit you can have 32gb of ram (or 128gb? I forget) and vista detects every little byte
Yep 128gb of ram in a 64bit environment
@70 – same here. I have it currently in safe mode and it is installing stage 3 of 3 very slowly indeed. But whether it has killed the laptop is yet to be seen.
For those who can’t see Vista SP1 on Windows Update, that’s because you haven’t installed all the prerequisite packages you need for Vista SP1. To install them, visit the Windows Update control panel and click on “check for updates”.
Here are some more reasons:

Thanks for letting me know its safe to install it with OEM hack installations of vista guys
downloading it now…
77 george VISTA 64 dont recognize all ram in many motherbords
ahh well i wasn’t aware of some MB issues … just the 32/64bit thing
@Johno
This noob used an activation crack last year and has had no problems since.
x86 dell oem i use… this service pack really is good..just installed it and runs very fine.. the crack is still ok..
I have two copies of Vista that I downloaded when it first came out (for experimental purposes, Bitlocker primarily). One is supposedly the x86 retail, unaltered. The other is Vista Ultimate x86/x64 with the Dell OEM hack already integrated. For some reason the Dell OEM one no longer works even if it’s a fresh install, giving me 30 days to activate. It used to work a year ago. Very weird. Shows you that nothing is set in stone.
I’m hoping I’ll be able to find a properly working unaltered/unhacked copy of Vista with SP1 integrated in the near future, now that it’s official. I’m really interested in is testing to see if it’s finally worth paying for, which I would rather do since it’s a lot less of a hassle. Plus by paying you get a little bit more peace of mind from a security stand point. Personally I’d like to stick with XP (hard to give up after 7.3 years), but I know realistically that at some point I’ll likely have no choice but to upgrade. I mean, how many of you are still using Win98 as their main OS?
leetay…
those guys represent sites that don’t like or endorse piracy and have adds and get money from Microsoft and others. That represents the words of the money…
Do not buy vista, i have two PC’s working with Dell OEM and SHAHJiNN’s crack and with SP1 and activated… and many others
so screw you and Bill… of course Microsoft want’s you scared and running to buy vista… think for a moment… there’s no crack proof software.
leetay – you’re really sad. do you really think we care what you think? it’s working. fact. if it fails, who cares. i would go back to xp at the worst so it’s no big deal. you seem obsessed with the kill switch, you sad individual. get a life.
Leetay quote “Do some research you idiots” – why don’t you read the articles you seem so eager to promote as gospel?
Taken from: http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&taxonomyId=89&articleId=9063940&intsrc=hm_topic
“If the sniffer detects an activation hack, it will pop up a warning that includes a link to the removal tool. People whose PCs don’t have Grace Timer or OEM BIOS on their PCs will not see the pop-up.”
So, why have we not seen this so called warning? Why has the o/s been working for at least a month with SP1 with no issues? You know nothing other than the scaremongering in the articles. You are a fake. Oh and by the way it’s n00b, not noob. Leetay = epic fail.
hey can anybody tell me if i should remove the service pack 1 i installed in febuary for this one or are they just the same and just another point maybe microsoft will come up with a way to stop the pirate copys of vista but iam pretty sure that thr moment they do find a way to stop them another crack will come out to reactivated them so people like leetay if your happy paying for your vista good luck to you and all the people out there with there cracked version good luck to them aswell
Grabbed these for my Vista 32 bit machine and my Vista 64 bit machine. Both running English Vista and both with genuine Vista on them. Strange thing is that the 64 bit machine gets an error telling me that I can’t install it because of the language while my 32 bit installs fine.
Any ideas?

be out by now?
damn, i have a newly build setup and just waiting for this… =(
[/useless comment]
STFU ,
I don’t give a toss what Microsoft do and don’t want and I didn’t get my information from those sites.
I’m merely going on the experience many of my friends have had and the information I have been given over the past six months of beta tested SP1
If you read what I said properly then you would have seen that I stated there is no known cracks for it at the moment and not once did I say that no software is crack proof.
I don’t need you or anyone else to tell me what I already know. I have cracked many types of software over the years , mostly for my own use. Why pay for something I can make free?
Whilst we’re on the spell checking then you need to get your spelling right and learn how and when you neeed to capitalise certain words like you’re suppose to start each sentence and paragraph with a capital letter which you clearly can’t get right.
If you get off that high horse you’re on for just a minute then you’ll realise that I’m just trying to help and be informative based on the experiences of the people I know and the information I have been given.
However , all that being said I personally don’t care whether people listen to me or not and if they get lucky and nothing happens then good for them.
I’m sure it will get bypassed at some point in the future anyways.
sp3 for xp has been out for a while now come on seriously r u really that numb????
XP SP3 doesn’t look like it will contain anything useful. Does anyone know if it will force WGA and other anti-piracy measures on users? If so then I think I’d rather keep using RyanVM’s Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack. Still get all of the latest updates and security patches, but none of the other crap I don’t need or want.
oh boy. leetay you’re really stupid, an world class idiot.
there are cracks ans working. I’m using it bloody idiot
oh boy. leetay you’re really stupid, an world class idiot.
there are cracks ans working. I’m using it bloody idiot
john which versiyon are you using sp1 with ?
dell oem ultimate 64bit ?
“I don’t need you or anyone else to tell me what I already know.” – Clearly you do, as you don’t seem to be able to digest the fact that many of us have Vista with SP1 working 100% with the OEM BIOS hack. So you in fact no nothing of substance other than the heresay of others and not of your own experience. I am typing this from my Vista x64 SP1 PC at this very moment. You clearly have not even installed it.
I think you also need to note the difference between spelling and capitalisation you n00b. If that’s all you can come back with in your arguement then you really are clutching at straws. Oh, and I enjoy it on my high horse, I can look down from it at fools like you.
Welp, I finally got the bloody pack installed only to find out that my OEM bios hack (the paradox one) no longer works!
Luckily, i tried the Vst.X-Free hack, and it works fine. Vista is activated, it thinks that I’m using an ASUS BIOS (Which I am, actually, just not an OEM one
).
Happy cracking, folks.
sp1 has a few nasties…. uberfetch(superfetch) with regback and shadowcopy work overtime… increasing boot time to over 10 mins… constant freezing.. hard dives killed so far… scizzy + sataII.
SP1 is flawed… dont bother to update… just incase you gain a few gremlins.
dont listen to Fraggle!! SP1 works like a charm, installed it last night on a Vista Ultimate x86 (the NoPe release) and its still activated with no “nasties” or “flaws”, boot time is the same as it was before SP1.
@ 69 – Joshfryguy:
Mine also got stuck in a restart loop, same happened with RTM version from a while back. Frustrating as hell.
Anyone else got the same problem + fix?
I just downloaded this and installed it on my OEM cracked version of vista ultimate x86. once the installation was done it told me I had 15 days to activeate. Then I used the http://rapidshare.com/files/100721457/VL.OEM.Activate.SHAHJiNN.rar oem crack and it worked perfectly. I also did a clean install of vista ultimate with out a key. Then when it was done I had 30 days to activate. So i downloaded all of the updates and installed them all. After that I installed the vista sp1 from microsofts website. Then I applied the above OEM crack and poof it was activated. So i’ve tried it all ways and I know that it is possible to crack and that microsoft hasn’t seen a dime from me since windows 95.

Hi guys.
Can you tell me if the vista service pack 1 crack really works? I’m looking for the crack on google but cannot find any useable links. All the links i click in says file removed. Thank you !!
Hi jayrodathome The link you posted on rapidshare does not work. Please help us with an usable link. I think your way will work 100% if we can only find the activation crack. Thankyou very much
The rapid share links does not work. Please help.
http://thepiratebay.org/tor/4050481/vista_sp1_activator
Use that to crack service pack 1
ty worked and updates fine
The crack only works for a limited period of time. Is there any crack that can keep vista sp1 on 30 day trail without a key code. The reason microsoft picked up on the crack that parker said worked. I hope that any one can help with a working 30 day crack.
Use the one I posted back in response 105. Most torrent search engines should have the hash file availiable.
Hi E.
Thank you for the help. Do you think that microsoft will pick up on the cracks and serial keys installed if used by so many peolpe. If vista was only cheaper. We almast pay R 5000 for one copy it is $700 if you work it back.
