I'm still waiting to see a list of actual changes made, because there are a couple of regular updates that I have skipped, and don't want the SP if they are included.

Well if they're security updates then I say it sounds like you won't be getting it.

I can't see how Microsoft won't be including most if not all of those updates in the SP, especially if they came through Windows update as critical.

Thanks Jan.

The two that I'm concerned about are kb971033 and kb2286198.

I've discussed that on the forum previously, and don't feel like rehashing it. Let it be sufficient to say that I don't want them.

Is there any tools to modify the contents of SP1? , i don't want to have useless updates installed
I remember it was possible in Vista

kb971033 is the infamous WAT. I can understand that but can't understand about kb2286198. >_>

Every thing works normal ...nothing change with desk top icons ,,,

what's the point of service packs anyways?

The point is ...you might have a chance to see wds's improvement , more stable & more secured ...
OR ....you might have a chance to fix it "every geek likes to mess around" ..
cause Sp1 may do more harm than good for some pc .."I said for some pcs.."
The way i see it is ...nothing that i would complain about wds 7 right now ..
.compare to my "Evil" vista ...
( Please contain yourself ....it's almost New Year... .do not argue ..)

I get concerned when someone doesn't want updates that involve activation. It makes it sound as though there's shady stuff going on. I accept every single "Important" update and a vast majority of "Recommended" and "Optional" updates, and I've never had a single issue. When you start picking and choosing, you leave your system vulnerable and open the doors for problems down the road.

You can get as concerned as you wish, and it will change nothing. Especially when the basis of your reasoning is invalid and irrelevant.
