| Re: Windows Update spoof allows early download of Vista SP1 Here are the instructions for those who may not want to burrow through the article for them Download Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Beta Seems like a lot of reboots not to mention I had SP1 beta installed before and I noticed not one difference other then the annoying water mark. Fortunately there are instructions to get rid of that as well on the above page, but I wouldn't bother to install it again..
