    Vista SP1 has been out awhile now. Is Dell shipping it on it's notebooks yet, or do I still have to download and install this each time I do a reinstall?

    Their website says they are shipping with SP1. This was just added a few days ago. People that have received their new systems recently are still getting non-SP1 AFAIK.

    OK. Sounds like it's the transition period.

    Thank you for the information.

    Vista OEM disks with SP1 are already shipping though. I ordered a backup disc set last week and got the Vista Ultimate disk with SP1 already integrated onto it.
