Service Pack 1
 

For Win 7

Any of the gurus know what is in it?

90% is rollup of the stuff you should probably already have installed.

The biggest thing that I know of is the RDP revamp that makes it hardware accelerated. I've haven't yet got it installed on a pair of machines yet to see if it's noticeable, but it's supposed to be better.

It's a roll up to the current patch levels with some small unremarkable add-ons:

Improved HDMI support
Power consumption system re-worked
Dynamic memory support
Remote-FX update for RDP

Wow! It took a long time to download and install, with only 89MB. My Slate is taking forever with the update...

It IS a big momma update from a time standpoint. No discernible difference.

zdnet sez mostly humdrum, bug fixes etc. - nothing like XP

but thanks for being a Beta tester for me...

It took me 1 1/2 hours last night to install it, but it's running fine. so far, so good on Win7 64bit.

I'm running an original copy of Win7 from launch day RTM (release to manufacturers). Zero updates - zero issues.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Nothing against updates or service packs, but if you are happy with your performance, let it alone. I have lots of computers around the house and in my company. We make it a point to get it up and running and then don't mess with it unless there is an issue or concern.
Basically the 'I'm still running XP philosophy'.
