You will see links to it everywhere. If you are connected to the Internet, you won't be able to miss it.

i was seeing links to it in my sleep... jumping over fences.

 

[Hopalong X]

Well I'm prepped for it.

Did a manual System Restore and full Windows Back-up and image.

Updated Macrium and made the new boot CD which works and a new pre-SP1 Mac Image.

Just in case.

If you have problems after the download and you made no back ups to restore your system shame on you!

Intended for an FYI for those who may not have thought about it.

Took about 20 minutes and it was time to update my backups anyway.

How long does it take to reinstall everything from scratch?
Drivers and all?

just in case How to uninstall Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) >>

Much as I'm curious about it, I'll wait a week or so before I install it, just to be sure there aren't any bugs that they haven't ironed out yet. I do the same thing with updates, wait a couple days to see if there's any problems.

 

[brianzion]

may as well create a system restore point but im sure windows will do that for you automatic?:busted:

 

[Chiumiento]

I always update immediately. I have never had one problem. That I have noticed anyway. I have been checking my updates all morning (-5 Eastern time). I want to update my PC ASAP. I guess I will wait and check it around noon time. For some reason. I think they are normally released around 4 or 5 where I am. Not sure about that. That is just what I think.

there will be such a surge on the servers we will be queuing up worse than the grocer store !!!

How to uninstall Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1)

Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) contains many updates to improve Windows 7, but if you encounter a problem with hardware or a program after installing the service pack, you might want to temporarily uninstall it to troubleshoot the problem.

Note

If you installed SP1 yourself, you can uninstall it. However, if your computer came with SP1 already installed, it can't be uninstalled.

 

[Paul1360]

I've just done a backup just in case. With all the people downloading the update it's a wonder the servers can cope. I may leave it till tomorrow

The reason I downloaded mine from MSDN on Saturday and loaded it on. seems OK so far.
