Ok one thing just in...if u install these unofficial RC Builds which are there only for few selected testers, they u r n trouble as to install the next build or package u have to compleately remove the old build.

Refrain from installing Vista SP1 beta on production & work computers

^^ Why? You can simply uninstall the SP from Programs & Features -> View Installed Updates.

Nope. Remember those performance & reliability updates which were released recently? Those updates were not given by Automatic Updates but there were links at Microsoft site to download them.

So Service Packs contain a few special updates which are not delivered by Automatic Updates and also a few new features sometimes like we got in XP SP2 but not always. There are new features in Vista SP1 too like option to defrag any particular drive and many enhancements to Bitlocker and other Windows features. So lets wait and watch what SP1 final comes with?

^^^ why is it so? I noticed this before with windows update, many new updates are not shown on Windows update.. I have to keep track of MS security bulletins often.. now I cannot trust windows update alone
