    Yes - yesterday. No noticeable improvements to performance, yet no system degradation either. Although I really never had any instability issues. However I do run Vista as a Virtual Machine (VM) on a mac.

    Many thanks to egghead for the cool .sig

    I installed the RTM release which was pulled about a month back. No problems though.

    yup same here. I really wish they'd fix the lag time when copying files. and more driver compatibility.

    This laptop is Vista SP1 which installed without problems. Doesn't seem to have made much if any difference in performance, only thing different I have noticed is in RDP connections can bring up a warning and programs run as admin have a little icon on them.
    I'm using Windows 7 - you got a problem with that?

    I still haven't installed Vista OS yet, let alone the SP1..

    Maybe soon though, looking forward to DirectX 10 and seeing what my card can do with it.

    I've got Vista SP1, and it seems ok, except I've got that small bug with certain USB devices... namely an 8gb Kingston Flashdrive... while a no-name 2gb is fine?!

    I did see some reports from Tomshardware, that SP1 improves speed to be equal with XP?! So it should be interesting.
