Unless prompted by Windows Update - is SP1 really worth the hassle?
I've had this laptop for less than 2 months now, and have religiously downloaded and installed each and every Update offered via Microsoft, including that bin-full of a couple of weeks ago - all down with little fuss, and no other holdups.
I'm also one who actually checks for updates at least once a day - more usually when I open up for a session, and not once has Microsoft given a prompt or advised that SP1 is ready and waiting.
Now, given all the obvious pitfalls, errors, crashes, failures, BSODs and potential wrist-slitting events that KB976932 seems to have left in it's wake [ and the same sort of distress and heartache was caused by Vista's SP1 ], I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble to go ahead and even attempt to install it here? Reason being that I'm loathe to screw up a system that appears to be operating perfectly fine without it - until Microsoft tell me that I do need it.
Are there any advantages to be gained in opening a potential can of worms?
