Required pieces of Vista SP1 are starting to trickle out of Redmond

Some prerequisites to installing Vista SP1 are being pushed out on Patch Tuesday, which is today. This is actually a good thing because it brings the 'servicing' portion of the OS up to the Windows Server 2008 level. You can read more about it here.

So, instead of (potentially) 3 reboots to install Vista SP1, it will only require one reboot once the final "big RTM package" gets pushed out.

A cynic might say that "instead of 3 reboots" is wrong - you'll still have three reboots, one or two this patch Tuesday, one or two when you deploy SP1.

Of course, the response to that is that if you have other reboots going on, take advantage of that reboot to install any other patches that need a reboot, too.
