I clicked on the checkbox when it appeared in Windows Update to download and install SP1. Rebooted it when the initial work was done then walked away for about 20 minutes while it did its thing and came back and SP1 was successfully installed. As I expected, nothing really changed and everything looked and worked just about the same.

That's just IMPOSSIBLE!!!:)

Just got the update, like, 10 minutes ago via WU. Only 61.2MB download for me :) though I seem to be stuck at around 35%, my network meter shows no progress in download xD

Sweet, my PC needs updating as its not been done yet afer a fresh install last week.

This will save no end of time and i think i might try slipstreaming but after reading Shaun's tuorial he says 'Retail-Only' or ISO.

I have an OEM version, can i not rip my DVD to an ISO and do it that way or is there still limitations?

Just finalized the install of SP1. Took about 45 minutes from download to final reboot and install. When installing it does hang a bit at 35%. I figure its doing its magic finding or deleting old files.
Anyway we will see if we notice anything different.

What differences have you noticed?
Faster speed in IE?
Or what?

You should be able to burn the SP1.iso on dvd then install it from there...

Either you should able aswell to slipstream a dvd with SP1, then install and use your key on sticker on the back of your laptop.

You'll loose your restore partition and you'll have to create a new one.
