Quoting you:
...by propogating this sort of pre-news news on public forums you unwittingly 
encourage the lemmings to install stuff they almost certainly don't need and which 
may well (history says) screw up their systems.

Aside from your dismissive lemmings for your fellow posters, it isn't possible 
for anyone to install Vista Sp1 RTM other than recipient manufacturers, or at least 
it wasn't when I first posted. All that 'lemmings' can install is Sp1 Release Candidate 
1 and RC1 Refresh 2, a quite pointless exercise since both are now obsolete. From 
the very beginning I clearly said that Sp1 would be available for download to existing 
Vista users in mid-March.

As for pre-news news, I posted on 5 February, the day after Microsoft officially 
made the announcement, giving a direct link to that announcement. I evidently made 
the mistake of thinking that official news of Sp1 might be of interest to Vista users.

Frankly, I see no point in discussing this further.
