service packs are good but only if they don't fix something that wasn't broken

Service Packs for any operating system are good for saving internet bandwidth by accumulating all previous updates into a single package.

MS Windows Vista Business Service Pack 1 x64

Service Pack is really great. Now, when I copy some file against hard disk, transfer is about 100-130 mb/s. Before this speed was about 10-20 mb/s... Second important thing is that Vista with SP1 is really stable. For example I am using gadu-gadu communicator. Without SP in system this program destabilized explorer.exe process and I had to restart it. Now is everything OK.

Vista Business 32bit

I am glad you asked!
My computer was running fine with Vista Business without SP1. I waited until Windows Update presented it for download and I installed it. The computer became unstable and would not shut down. A series of hard shut downs of course presented problems with corrupt files. I would boot to safe mode and set up a check disk. Sometimes even safe mode would not load. I first chatted with Windows tech online. He took over the computer but could not resolve the problem. A call to Microsoft tech produced at least 3 sessions lasting about 2 hours each with callbacks on their part over 3 days. They were courteous, and wanted to help, and very thorough. I also spent many, many hours searching online for solutions. Finally, the recommendation was to reformat from the partition. I did that and did not install the "crapware". I installed all windows and Lenovo updates and no other programs. When SP1 presented itself via Windows Update, I installed it.... I then tried to install Microsoft office 2007. The computer would not read the disk. I successfully installed it on my old XP machine to be sure it wasn't the CD. The computer behaved as it did the first time I installed SP1, so this time I called Lenovo tech and was told to start again from the partition and not install SP1. I have done that, and it works fine. After MANY hours of trying, I have a mainstream computer that will not run the most widespread OS in the world. If I were a novice I would have thrown it out the window days ago. ....well, you asked...
