Microsoft Yanks Vista SP1 Update File

There had been a growing number of reports on the Internet, including on Microsoft's TechNet site, of users getting stuck with Vista reporting "Configurating updates: stage 3 of 3 - 0% complete" on-screen before going into an endless loop of reboots.

As a result, Vista program manager Nick White made a blog posting stating Microsoft's decision to "temporarily suspend automatic distribution of the update. "

For clarity: This is a requisite update file; an update to your system you need to get before SP1 can be installed when released.

The problem doesn't actually affect SP1, which was considered finished and done at the beginning of February. However, Microsoft decided to delay its release until mid-March, irritating some users. If KB937287 installs on the user's computer without the reboot bug, then they can install SP1.

No problems with my SP1.

After a couple of days everything appears to running fine.

There had been reports also of driver issues but as i have read on some boards, users stated that they know enough to just install drivers again so who do MS have to delay the SP1 until March. Users should be able to d/l SP1 manually and if there is a looping problem then they'll wait until March comes round.
