Vista SP1 hasn’t shown up yet on Windows Update for my Flybook. According to Microsoft, there can be a multitude of reasons why this is the case. Driver incompatibility (of audio and/or fingerprint sensor) are two options I’ll want to look into. Yes, you *can* simply download the entire SP1 and install it manually, but I would like to know first if there are going to be driver issues.
Curiously, it hasn’t shown up on Windows Update for my Dell desktop either – so one possibility, not mentioned in Microsoft’s list of possible causes, is that it hasn’t rolled to my systems yet (they were going to *start* rolling it to systems mid-April).
Anyone have Vista SP1 installed on a Flybook V5 that didn’t come with it initially? And if so, was it through Windows Update or by manual installation?

I have SP1 installed but it was when I did a clean install of Vista and only have minimal Flybook drivers/utilities installed (i.e the Camera). Vista Update automatically installed it. So far, I don’t really notice any difference.
Till now (2008-May-12) nothing showed up with Windows Update on my V5 and Vista Business I d’nt know the effects of installing manually. So for some time I will wait and see.
Manually updated SP1 Vista, memory still 3 GB
Tried to update realtek driver from realtek website, no change!!

Luc, I wasn’t sure what you meant – did you get a V5 with 4GB of RAM? But even with SP1 it is still showing only 3GB?
After applying SP1 are sound, camera, and fingerprint reader working ok? I assumed it was one of those holding up the patch.
Yes I Bought a V5 with 4GB memory.
Standard bug from Vista, just recognize 3 GB!!
But Vista SP1 repairs this bug with PC fully compatible VISTA!!!
So one of the Flybook driver should not be compatible

Actually, while Vista with SP1 is supposed to *show* that you have 4GB on your system, the amount of RAM it can *access* (3.5ish) remains the same. For those techies out there, this article explains the situation.
A quote from the article may explain why the V5 isn’t showing 4GB:
