TechNet Plus: SP1 & other news

Hello -

 

SP1 updates – I was travelling part of last week, so was unable to post sooner but in case you haven’t checked Subscriber Downloads & Product Keys last week.  The full Vista install with SP1 integrated (also referred to as the Slipstream build) is now available for download.

 

In other news - In a previous blog post I had mentioned that Subscriber Downloads would be changing – you may be wondering why it hasn’t happened yet even though february has come & gone.   Well here is the reason: We are converting the data structure of the thousands of files you can download to support the new format of drop down choices for version & language etc.  It turned out to be more complicated than anticipated.  I’ll keep you posted when we have a new implementation timeline. Take a peek at TechNet Plus Subscriber Downloads and Product Keys walkthrough for a preview of the changes.

 

 

Thanks,

Kathy

Will the "Slipstream" version of Vista on TechNet work with OEM product keys? If I have to do a clean install, I would rather use the full install with SP1 integrated rather than my original OEM disc and then apply SP1.

I see there are 2 new Vista SP1 integrated downloads on TechNet Plus:

Windows Vista Ultimate with Service Pack 1 Checked/Debug Build (x86) - DVD (English)  

Windows Vista Ultimate with Service Pack 1 Checked/Debug Build (x64) - DVD (English)  

What are the "Checked/Debug" builds?

With Vista and Server 2008 Microsoft has stoped created different CDs for OEM, retail, education, and volume users.  The only difference is 32/64 bit, and Enterprise/everything else.  So yes, the ISOs on TechNET Plus will accept any (valid) CD key.

Thanks for information about new design of Subscriber Downloads. I have a question about it. Will you plan to add missed products(such as SP2 for Windows Servr 2003(not R2)) & remove the products which posted in 2 or more categories(such as "Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP (English)")?
