Verdict

It's always good to install the latest code for any operating system, but installing Windows Vista SP1 will require some users to spend a few hours without any visible or tangible improvements to their systems... Read Full Review.

Pros

  • Improves the overall upgrade process
  • Fixes hundreds of tiny problems
  • Makes it easier for third-party vendors to write stable code for Vista

Cons

  • Lacks any compelling 'must haves'
  • In most cases, doesn't significantly improve performance (in some cases, it even degrades performance)
