Just a heads up on the SP1 install time: you may want to do it overnight rather than during the working day. 35 minutes on my fastest machine, just over 4 hours on my slowest.

Is this the same SP1 I read was a Release Candidate, the one that isn't actually the "full" version or is this the "finished" article?
Mind you, after reading what is in it I ain't going to bother as it seems that it'll add the "updates" I decided were't going to be going onto my machine(s) anyway.

About the same on three machines now, with one quirk, none of them would restart post install, all got stuck on shutdown & had to be reset. After that they were fine.

About 5 minutes to download it, another 5 to install/reboot on a fairly new Samsung Laptop.
IE8 is installed on this laptop (but not used, much) and it works OK. (If you like that sort of thing. ;))

Is this SP the same across all flavors of W7?
(I only have Home premium on the den machine and pro on the T/V flix streamer. I know...just the way things turned out.)

22 mins here, (that was with the Silverlite update as well) particularly liked the bit that said 'Applying Update Operation nnnn of 100187'
If it was a beta copy try downloading the release candidate as mine is fine.

i wiped the beta candidate off and replaced with the Release candidate but same problem . As soon as i remove SP1 then IE9 works perfectly.

In what way is it broken? I don't use it very often so I don't use many of it's features
