There's a thousand different things that could adversely affect an otherwise stable system by installing a torrent of Vista SP1...At least that's what I think. I'll be waiting until Microsoft releases the DL on their Download site to the public. At that point it will be worked out and stable and legitimate.

And 3 days ago I installed and succesfully activated SP1 x64 with their hole with OEM keys. Not need to wait until official public release.
