There is no need to download SP1a if your computer already has SP1. SP1a is simply SP1 without Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine. Microsoft removed VM to comply with the court's ruling against them. Microsoft also released SP1b (SP1 without VM, and with Sun's Java) to comply with the court's other demands.

I can't find any info regarding SP1b. Do you have a link?

Ok, thanks. Maybe you should edit your post since it confuses people regarding SP1b availability.

"Microsoft will release SP1b (SP1 with Sun's Java) within 120 days to comply with the court's other demands."
