Reviews/Opinions/Pros/Cons-XP's SP1 Update?

[popeye]

Official Update has been out. I updated and went back, seemed slower and buggy? I have Windows XP Pro. Wondering if worth the update?
Can anyone add their opinions or review of this upgrade?
Thanks.

No major difference here too !

Maybe just some bugs and security hole

The only diff I notice is my machine always shuts down not. It used to hang a little to long before.

looks like Nero INCD is busted either by XP SP1 or Office SP2. InCd filing, ie saving & copying, within XP is ok, but not saving to an InCd disk via Word_SP2.
The Word error talks about file permissions, but i havn't changed anything. Trouble is i didn't test InCd file-saving via Word after Office_SP2 & before XP_SP1.
Also, not possible to format a blank CDRW via InCd tray icon so I guess its XP_SP1 to blame, ina manner of speaking, not Word_SP2.

i would recommend installing sp1 only as soon as windows xp is installed. otherwise, installing service packs in the middle of the stage, would cause errors. it happened when i used windows 2000 professional. i was using it for a while. and then sp2 came out. after i install it, the system became unstable. i think it is cos a large number of system files gets updated and the other software is not ready for it. once install sp2 soon after installing windows 2000, and then install all the other rest of the software, everything seemed be all right
