Vista SP1 is a prereq for Vista SP2

<RANT>

Come on, what’s this about…

“Service Pack 1 is a prerequisite for installing Service Pack 2. Please make sure that your system is running Service Pack 1 before you install Service Pack 2″ as seen here (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=a4dd31d5-f907-4406-9012-a5c3199ea2b3)

I’m really not impressed by this, mostly because I’ve been running the RTM version of Vista since the 1st attempt at installing SP1 onto it killed my machine. So I had been looking forward to trying out SP2… so now to get my machine up to SP2 I’ve to apply 2 service packs!!!

I say again… I’m not impressed!!!

I’m sure the idea is to keep SP2 as small as possible, but to be honest I’d rather have a single bigger download to deal with rather than having to download twice and install twice.
