xps 1530 windows vista service pack 1
Greetings to all,
first of all i would like to mention that till now i am Very Satisfied with Dell. It is the first laptop that i am buying from them and the laptop and support is actually great !
Anyway , my question is regarding service pack 1 for windows vista. Does anyone know when will it be available for xps 1530 ? I read a few outdated posts so i would appreciate a fresh reply.
I read an article from microsoft mentioning that sp1 will not be available if you have outdated drivers. The only one that i found on my system was the fingerprint reader. Actually there were new versions for the other devices that were not available through microsoft's update website...
Since vista is "sensitive" on driver update, will be service pack be available from Dell in the future ? Is Dell going to update the device drivers through microsoft update ?
Thank you very much. I appreciate your replies.
Best Regards
Leon

Did you update any drivers before that ? The version that i have is Vista Home Basic English. I just checked again and it says "Windows is up to date ... No new updates are available for your computer"
Most recent check for update : 23 / 03 / 2008 at 21:12 pm
Updates were installed 16 / 03 / 2008 at 11:10 am
?
Any thoughts ? Is your system stable after the update ?

Thank you all for your replies.
I downloaded and installed the service pack without updating any drivers. Till now it looks fine. Hopefully i will not get any bluescreens ...

That was a long way to download over 400 MB for the full install. I just update the Upek finger driver from here http://www.upek.com/support/downloads/drivers/windows.asp then the 66 MB SP1 has appeared in windows update (Have some retry thought before it was found). To date, pretty stable stuff.
