I dont think I ever have. shame on me.

I keep finding preview that is 148.91 meg.

I do not know what you found at 148.91 MB, but Vista SP1 is a FULL complete Vista.. it is Vista RTM-OEM with all the UPDATES slipstreamed into it, and all the NEW NEVER RELEASED goodies that MS is considering.

some examples:

MICROSOFT PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS
MICROSOFT WINDOWS VISTA SERVICE PACK 1
These license terms are an agreement between Microsoft Corporation (or based on where you live, one of its affiliates) and you. Please read them. They apply to the pre-release software named above, which includes the media on which you received it, if any.

Remember it is BETA.

. Because this software is a pre-release version, we have turned on some internet-based features by default to obtain feedback about them. These features connect to Microsoft or service provider computer systems. In some cases, you will not receive a separate notice when they connect. You may switch off these features or not use them. For more information about these features, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83309. By using these features, you consent to the transmission of this information. Microsoft does not use the information to identify or contact you.

Now the real goodies.

VALIDATION.
a. The software will from time to time validate the software, update or require download of the validation feature of the software. Validation verifies that the software has been activated and is properly licensed. Validation also permits you to use certain features of the software or to obtain additional benefits.

Samples snipped from the Vista SP1 Pre-Release Version.

May the Public Release be sooner than later..

7. PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE. This software is a pre-release version. It may not work the way a final version of the software will. We may change it for the final, commercial version. We also may not release a commercial version.

lol.. well... darn.. I was all ready for it. I am a big kid that way.

You won't have to wait much longer anyway. The traffic might be heavy, so try to get it early.

[budeone]

If one was to find this and burn it I guess it would say upgrade is disabled? They would have to do a clean install? YUCK

[felix8406]

There's one update that will be very useful for those who purchase a Vista PC without the Vista DVD; it's called Create Recovery Disc. It let users build a recovery DVD for their system. This feature, available in Win XP, can be very useful.

[Snuffy]

NO, upgrade is not disabled currently. If you can find its PIRATE. and who knows what they do..since it not official. Many Pirate DL's are well (IMHO) not trust worthy. Torrents are know to be hacked and filled or missing items.
the only way I know to verify is use:

Filename: 6001.16549.070628-1825_x86fre_client_en-us-fb1cfre_en_dvd.iso

MD5 checksum: 8D0D4E138EC95A05C6A8EB19EDA0901D

Release date: August 9, 2007

Supplier: MicrosoftType: OSArchitecture: x86

Format: ISO (as supplied by Microsoft)

Maybe one of your SPECIAL MEMBERS who has access to the real mccoy will leak his version to you.

But when and if the "Official Version" is released, I'm sure someone will post the link here. Seems there is more than one SPECIAL MEMBER in VB that have access to Special Downloads.

6001.16549.070628-1825_x86fre_client_en-us-fb1cfre_en_dvd.iso

Where do you find the rest of that information?

If I had that file and tried to install it it would say.. upgrade disabled.

Or how do you do an upgrade using Visat Premium?

Theoretically, if you have 32 bit vista installed it should be upgradable. But either way, you obviously don't have legitimate ways to obtain this .iso so best not to continue talking about it.

6001 is definately a step up, but I wouldn't say it's life altering in such a way to alter my morales

I agree that talking about getting the ISO illegally should stop here in this forum, but there are a few of us that got it legally. Plus I don't think that talking about and speculating is illegal. We went through this when Vista went through the different stages, beta, RTM and so forth.

I can say that we are looking at an update that is going to increase Vista efficiency, but it's not going to alter the OS. Vista will continue to be Vista, before and after the update. Will it be more secure after the update? I'll have to say yes, however, how long it'll stay that way will depend on how quickly hackers will start finding holes, and then will be looking at more updates and possibly SP2.
