Realtek sound chipset == no Vista SP1 download in Windows Update?

Finally! Microsoft has released Vista SP1 through Windows Update. Too bad I'm not up for this treat yet due to cause #5. Seems like I'm blocked on the integrated Realtek sound chipset. I wish I could say I am surprised, but after going through a driver update for it once I am not. Last time I downloaded the latest realtek drivers the installer started out with an informational message that tried to tell me something about rebooting (I think, I should have taken a screenshot). I chickened out and canceled the installation, the message scared me! If you can't explain your intent in plain English, how can I trust you to install a system driver?!? It got a bit better with R189: I think I know what they want from me... Still, I cannot bring myself to click Yes. Dude! This chipset comes standard with boatloads of PCs nowadays. Half the planet is blocked from SP1?!? Isn't it about time Microsoft sent a couple of its finest audio driver engineers out to get us out of our misery? Add an installation package engineer to that, just to be sure. And a universal translator. Realtek? Get real! I want SP1, without troubles. Get to it already! P.S. I still love Vista! Related posts:
