I saw mention that it was up to 2gb in size (if you hadn't installed any windows updates previously), with my PC showing a download size of '44 to 533mb'. Quite some difference.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

"SP1 is fubared admit M$"
Windows 7 customers hit by service pack 1 install 'fatal error' flaws ? The Register
My favourite bits:
The Register has heard from lots of disgruntled readers who are wasting precious time having to rebuild their machines after the service pack had led to fatal flaws in the OS.
"Best thing is, SP1 deletes restore points prior to installing!!!!"
But with Microsoft unable to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem, users are suggesting the only way to avoid the problem is switch off WSUS

I see SP1 is in my list of new updates, but the box isn't checked by default. Is that normal or have they done something to try and stop it getting installed by accident until finding the problem?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
