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

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.
