Can Vista SP1 help polish Vista’s tarnished image?
Posted by Mary Jo Foley @ 9:23 am

If I were on the Vista team, I’d be doing everything in my power to talk up and fast track SP1, as Josh Phillips over on the WindowsConnected.com site recently suggested. (Update: Maybe Microsoft is putting the pedal to the metal with SP1. I hear testers got another new pre-beta recently — Build No. 6.0.6001.16633 (longhorn.070803-1655) and the SP build now in installable format, rather than an integrated component of a refrehsed Vista build.)

Good news. I am looking forward to it.

Download Vista SP1 Beta – Version 6.0.6001.16633
Edit: And the full build tag is: 6.0.6001.16633.070803-1655 v249

Size: 1.2gb

Microsoft is in full throttle with the evolution of Windows Vista Service Pack 1. Having released the first wave of pre-beta builds to a select pool of testers in mid July, the Redmond company is hard at work on the development of the operating system’s first refresh.

A clear indication of this is the fact that a new build of Windows Vista SP1 has shipped to testers. Microsoft however is still mute on the subject and under Sinofsky’s Windows Omerta, codename Translucency. At this point in time the Redmond company failed to officially confirm the new release of Vista SP1. Still, it seems that the fresh stage of the service pack is still in pre-beta phase, and the company delivered no indication pointing to when it plans to move Vista SP1 into beta.

The latest Vista SP1 beta release is build 6.0.6001.16633 (longhorn.070803-1655), according to Mary Jo Foley. Outside of the build number there is actually very scarce information available about this release. Undoubtedly, as the fresh Vista SP1 version will be dropped in the laps of more and more users additional details will leak. The previous release of the service pack made it clear that leaks are inherent, as Windows Omerta is not in effect outside of Redmond. One aspect seems to be clear though, the new pre-beta build of Vista SP1 is a standalone .EXE installer.

With the initial versions of SP1 released to testers Microsoft choose to deliver an ISO containing the entire operating system, with the service pack installed on top. The full build tag of the first Vista SP1 was 6001.16549.070628-1825. Microsoft had to face not only a feast of information about the 6001.16549 after the July availability but also leaks of the actual pre-beta version of the service pack to torrent trackers. The Company failed to react in any manner to the fact that Vista SP1 6001.16549 was offered for download via peer-to-peer file sharing networks. The only difference is that with the new release, Microsoft scrapped the 3+ GB ISO file in favor of an executable file with the Vista SP1.

Ok, I'm confused about how big or small SP1 is going to be...
First I heard it was going to be about 45mb then 3.2gb, and now from what Snuffy has just previously posted it is going to be 1.2gb.

[Snuffy]

The leaked version of SP1 is slipstreamed into the original DVD set. which makes it 3.06 GB full size. uncompressed size is 3.1GB. or 3.3GB depends.
The basic difference in quotes size is
1. open directory check properties with leaked version uncompressed. 3.1GB
2. open the ISO file with poweriso. the uncompressed size reads: 3175MB
3. open ISO withe winrar:
6001.16549.070628-1825_x86fre_client_en-us-fb1cfre_en_dvd.iso - ISO 13346 UDF archive, unpacked size 3,329,345,002 bytes
4. open with IE : size on disk: 3.10 GB (3,330,637,824 bytes)

The beta release .16633 is not slipstreamed.

The only difference is that with the new release, Microsoft scrapped the 3+ GB ISO file in favor of an executable file with the Vista SP1.

This makes a 1.2 GB file which is more like MS SP releases from XP...
You can slipstream them your self that way. If you want.

Windows Vista SP1 Build 6001.16633 Info

Some very quick info that we came across regarding the latest release of Vista SP1 to testers. As Mary Jo Foley previously reported, Microsoft have indeed made the latest build of Vista SP1 (6001.16633) available as a standalone update file to testers.

At least some of the info is the same. in BOLD
Build: 6.0.6001.16633 (longhorn.070803-1655)
Filename: windows6.0-kb936330-x86.exe

Size: 684MB (new info on the size)

Surprisingly, the update file is in the .exe format. Many (including myself) were expecting Microsoft to deliver the update for Vista SP1 in the the new Vista/Server 2008-only .msu format used for current Hotfixes.

I really get a kick out of the PIRATES... some are surely not worthy the term PIRATE .. more like MORONs.

problem installs fine but clony paradox crack fail to work anymore

1. guys,if you download and install it with a key.it would expire in 2008.this is a beta.most time stoppers fail in sp1
2. i installed it and no time bomb; the 1st release had a time bomb but this one doesn't
3. Then when the time bomb shows: nm it has time bomb; sob

installed on paradox activated system.
activation was reset to 15 days left.
evaluation copy and watermark.
any idea what to do?

Guess they never learned to read the EULA....
sorry from the EULA: Time-Sensitive Software. The software will stop running on 4/07/2008. You will not receive any other notice. You may not be able to access data used with the software when it stops running.

[Snuffy]

First posted in the NFO.
Unpack.
.Install directly in any edition of Vista RTM. (they did not read RTM)

*IMPORTANT NOTICE*

Just like I thought this build of SP1 WONT INSTALL IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY USING the last build of SP1 (16549) THIS build must be installed from a clean Vista Retail Version(RTM) NOT A SP1 BUILD.

Whaling, Mooning and Gashing of Teeth in all the PIRATE BASES ....
Muskets and Cutlasses all banished and ready to rip ...
Ya' jolly pubs are doing a smashing business ...
