    Hi all,

    I am planning to do clean install soon. As microsoft remove the SP1 from automatic updates recently, will I be offered SP1 as optional download if I use Windows Update ?

    Regards
    Raj

    Didn't you do a clean install some back? There is a slight chance of not getting SP1 through WU now.
