How do i know if i have Service Pack 1 and/or x64 base. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium (I am a home/personal user)
Seems to be on auto updates as well now my laptop got it last night (26may09)
I was surprised to see a 300+mb important update available, then found it was this service pack.
Sure it won’t be just me, I was expecting it next week at the earliest.
