I have just installed Windows Vista SP1 for the first time. It is now available via Windows Update although not automatically installed unless Microsoft determine that all your drivers are in a state that they will not cause you a problem with SP1 installed. I can vouch for the desirability of this as I downloaded anyway and the only change I noticed after it installed was that it had disabled the graphics card. I had to obtain the latest drivers from the manufacturer and install them before I could get a decent looking screen back.
To avoid this type of problem in some situations it may be worth running a program that copies all drivers on your system to a My Drivers folder before you start. Then, if there is a later problem, it is easy to restore from the backup copy you made. The program I used for this - DriverMax, is freely available from
