Read this official statement on microsoft's web site:
h**p://www.microsoft.com/piracy/basics/activation/windowsxpsp1.asp
Eligibility for Windows XP Service Pack 1 and Windows Update
Licensed customers will continue to enjoy product updates and access to Windows Update. Service pack 1 will fail to install on Windows XP installations using either of two well-known pirated product keys. Additionally, Windows Update will verify the product key used to install Windows XP against a list of valid product keys to ensure installations made with cracked or pirated product keys will not receive access.
I also came across this in-depth article claiming that the BlueList XP Keygen will not work anymore after SP1 is released.. Took me awhile to read, you gotta take a look at this :

If you?re using the keygen, be forewarned: You won?t be using it or the keys it generates for long.
buckle your seatbelts folks, cuz ms is planning to screw up all illegitimate users (not me of course, i think!?)
