They have not made an announcement. Having said that, they always have in
the past with service packs.

Hello Colin Barnhorst:
I would imagine with over half the pc users in the US still using Dial-Up
for their internet connection that Microsoft will have to offer a disk to
install Vista SP1 since it will be a hundreds of MBs download! I
hope.......I only have Dial-Up and 2 Vista PCs!

Thank you all. I hope they come out with the disk version because it's so
much easier. Especially if you have to do reinstalls.
