Win 7 SP1 install time
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.

Anybody having trouble with SP1? after i downloaded it IE9 wouldnt work any ideas why? dont wanna spend my day off messing with computer getting nowhere!!!!!
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.)

If it was a beta copy try downloading the release candidate as mine is fine.
