I've noticed that on my machine start-up is slower, but other than that it's running fine.

This darn laptop has been through every leak since late 2008, so maybe it's the machine

Mine is taking another ten seconds to start up. It's running fine. I have IE 9 and it seems my news videos are running better.

It took a couple of hours to download and a little over 40 minutes to install. My processor, an Intel E6550 wasn't cutting edge when I got it and it's over 2 years old now.

So far, running fine and no problems. I've been surfing the net, watching movies, and writing some emails.

Mine is OK, not slower at startup, i actually find it a little bit more responsive at startup.. BUT i do complain to the fact that my hidden updates disappeared.. and i still haven't been able to get them back.. it took 17 minutes to install, other than that.. no major differences

NON, your post and the comment below scares me. Using the great Tutorial about reinstating Windows Mail and updating mine and several friends Windows 7 putters with Windows Mail (I looked like a hero) now it could cause a problem with future updates? Ouch

"You'll see at the end the stated "error"...it could be "Windows Mail" if you have reinstate it in Windows7... and it could be the installer that can't find the regedit path for the service pack 1. both are told in the CBS.log."

Yes indeed... but now windows mail is fixed looks like another error code.
It is now the registry key... HKLM\Software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\setup\servicepack\sp1...that put me in troubleshot.

I'm working on it!

PS; Could someone tell me what's on their machine inside this registry SP1 key...might help to understand why, thanks!

Marrrcus, you'll have an obsession by asking so many time how it runs....

LoL
what a surprised that you'r hidden updates disappeared ? >>> NOT!!!! because sp1 includes those small hidden updates and all other updates.
Hm, i thought you knew it.

I've not really seen any differences. Not noticed a considerable difference in startup time or anything. Used RT7 Lite to slipstream it as I'm planning on doing a reinstall soon. If you get RT7 Lite, make sure you download the Slipstream version (version 2.6 beta). The current version doesn't include the slipstream option.
