    I did the same. Works fine. I also use auto patcher to further upgrade it. Though I primarily use XP SP3.

    Automatic update is preferred compared to the standalone setup as it is smaller in size & takes care of the current configuration on your pc better...thats what microsoft says.

    The SP1 has many security issues of Vista fixed and various other performance enhancements too. Please do update.

    Thats b$. Its all the same. What happens is if you have installed particular upgrades prior to sp1 then those are not re-installed in automatic upgrades plus latest patches are installed only. No harm in any method. You can do either.

    I instal sp1 standalone and autopatcher afterward upgrading to sp1.
