considering the delays vista suffered, I'm wondering how long SP1 will be delayed.

it appears that you’ll need 7 GB of free disk space to install the x86 version and 12 GB of free disk space for the x64 package

the article says 50 MB for the download version, the 1GB is for the IT stand alone (w/all 36 languages) version.

it does say 7 GB of free space required to install... beats the hell outta me as to why. perhaps they just want to be sure people have enough swap space to expand dlls as they're updated or somethin... weird.

Anyone else hear about that networking bug in vista when playing music? Supposedly slows down your networking speeds dramatically. So will the fix be a Patch Tuesday fix or SP1?
