The hour long install I mentioned didn't include download time. I downloaded SP1 from the MSDN network back in February. I was just referring to the install time.

What I did notice was that after the update was "installed" the machine wanted to reboot three times to complete the installation.

If I recall the setup dialogs tell you about the multiple restarts during the install. That's nothing to be concerned about.

I believe that machines that come with Vista installed will breeze through this update.

I wonder what the breakdown is? I've had no upgrade problems with SP1, but all machines had a clean install of Vista to begin with. None of them were upgraded from XP.
