Re: [CGUYS] vista sp2 install - ok so far
An HOUR to install it? WOW. Took less then that when I installed vista originally. I thought I got a bad update yesterday when I installed updates for win 7. After installing I rebooted and the machine would barely POST. Turned out my PSU had gone bad. On Thu, May 28, 2009 at 10:54 AM, Andy Gallant a...@agallant.com wrote: Just one anecdote FYI. I have Vista Home Premium, fully updated as of yesterday (pre SP2) on a year old Toshiba laptop with Norton 360 (not a factor, as it turned out). This morning, Windows Update said that Vista SP2 was available. I backed up everything and worked on the Mac during the update. The download was 348 MB, which took quite a while. A notice said that installing SP2 could take an hour or more. In fact, it took about an hour from then, all told, until I could use the machine again. The overall experience was bearable.
