    The release notes for Vista SP1 Release Candidate on MS's site says the file size is about 550 MB for the standalone all-languages version and 450 MB for the standalone version with 5 languages. (can anyone who downloaded a SP1 RC confirm this?) I don't think the file size changed that much between RC and RTM. I'm not sure what that file is, but it's not an officially released version. EDIT: According to a comment there, the file contains both the 32bit and 64bit version of the SP1 (that's why it's so large). It's not officially released, but Beta testers and OEMs already got the SP1 RTM, looks like one of them leaked the file to betanews. I'll wait for the official download from Microsoft's website.

      I'm supposed to trust a SP from a beta news site? Where's the release from an official Microsoft website? Marc

      Slashdot's too busy trying to figure out the fake conspiracy behind the Microsoft v Yahoo acquisition to report important news like this. Please don't panic.

                          Thank you for that reasoned argument. I always like it when a moron backs their specious arguments with well rounded and cogent arguments.

                            New computers come out with quite big HDDs these days... I'd say it's gonna take like 1% of their capacity. Please remind me size of WinXP SP1 and size of average hard disc in those days? Just curious (and lazy to look it up :P)

                              I agree, but its the problem with loading, disk sizes increases but does the bandwidth increase? nope so loading stating up or whatever your doing = slow:| XPSP1 was about 280 Mb I think:~

                                IIRC I was 2 or 3 gigs out of 60. 98 was 500megs??? out of 4gigs. Win31 was really brutal though, 20-25mb out of 120.
