I noticed today that the Windows 7 Service Pack 1 was available in the Windows Updates. I went ahead and installed it. So far, so good. Anyone else upgraded? If so, any issues?

I've been holding off on updating. I'm waiting to see how it works out for other people first. :-$

I upgraded two machines. Once with dual 5870 and one with a 580. Both are still crunching fine.

Yeah, I noticed it a few days ago in my system notices. I will not however install it. The primary reason is this little puppy ---> Update for Microsoft Windows (KB971033) (http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/000681.html) which is one of the updates included in that Service Pack. This update "Phones Home" to M$ every 90 days to verify that the OS is not a pirated copy. Really? Yes, really. Every @&$# 90 days!!! Like I'm going to replace a genuine copy of Win7 for a bugged ridden hacked copy. Give me a break for crying out loud.....

I've had it since it was a beta release and have not had any problems with cpu or gpu crunching on my 3 machines.
