"A good patch worth installing"
Version: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Five Language Standalone 6.0 Build 6002
Pros
Has only really smoothed the creases from the release of Vista which was predictable. Looking forward for SP 2 which should implement some nice tools.
Cons
Only issue is lenght of time to install when other applications have been installed before hand.
Summary
Install it as it will boost the vista experience.

"SLOWS DOWN MY LAPTOP BOOTUP BY 2 MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!"
Version: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Five Language Standalone 6.0 Build 6002
Pros
There is no obvious benifit from installing this, i suppose it can solve some compatibility issues.
It does not affect normal PC activities
Cons
1.Slows down my super optimized startup(1 minute) to 3 minutes!
2.download was slow(not a very serious problem)
3.you cannot uninstall it
This really makesme very angry. i have tuneup utilities 2008,wopti,ccleaner and other optimization software which boost my startup time to just under 1 minute,but after installing this **** from MICROSOFT, my entire startup just slow to a hog. now F*** microsoft.

"Yup...chuffed I installed it"
Version: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Five Language Standalone 6.0 Build 6002
Pros
together with the security, tweaking and default apps, I think SP1 is real added value...i have noticed a general, all round efficiency step up...from starup to shut down...scans thru to defragging etc...etc...particularly on HomePremium..the restore points summarily deleted themselves leaving me without a RP at all...wierd...this is now fixed..coolio
I have noticed however that on HomeP copying from disc drive to the HDD has slowed somewhat....however on Ultimate its whizz bang...hmmm!...still i give it a giga thumbs up

"cCashed mt system right off!"
Version: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Five Language Standalone 6.0 Build 6002
Pros
ZERO again! created a never ending cycle of blue death within minutes of install.
Cons
Can't you read? Or, did you give this junk a good rating because anything Microsoft is good if you use Vista? You will hate yourself when you find your review shuved up the dark side so far a jack hammer can't get it out.

"Install this and you will need a mirical."
Version: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Five Language Standalone 6.0 Build 6002
Pros
Nothing whatsoever.
Cons
I do believe Microsoft, in their zest to improve Vista, they have released a system destroyer instead of a service pack. I know it destroyed my Dell XPS. I had all the disks to reformat the hard drive and re-install Vista or I'd have been up the creek without a paddle as they say. Blue screen that had no fix at all. Like the others after said blue screen, system restore was laid waste. It's up to you, but I'd block this install at all costs, at least for now. Change your update settings. Hide this bad boy, please. I did and I'm up and running fast and stable.

"NONE!"
Version: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Five Language Standalone 6.0 Build 6002
Pros
Re-formatted my PC three times because of this (can't say what I'd like to say) garbage. Microsoft has to be aware of these problems by now. I'm tickesd off so bad you just don't know. Fix it, now, or kill it is what I say. I've blocked the installation and am hoping I can keep my system running this time but theres no telling.
Cons
Read above and allow install at your own risk. Makes me feel like I've been used by Microsoft without my permission.

"Make sure you backup your system first !!!!"
Version: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Five Language Standalone 6.0 Build 6002
Pros
Hmmmm, installed ok on my PC.
Cons
SP1 crashed my laptop, would not boot at all. I'm an MCSE, but I still could not recover it. I used the recovery menu command prompt to copy any files I didn't have backed up onto a USB drive, before I rebuilt my laptop. Use with caution.

"They really blew it this time!"
Version: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Five Language Standalone 6.0 Build 6002
Pros
Nothing good to say about SP 1 for Vista at all! What kind of idiots does Bill Gates have working at Microsoft? In their over zeal to improve Vista, they blundered badly. This is, undoubtedly a minus star update, that was released way to soon.
Cons
Installed, blue screen, memory dump several times. Tried to restore system every way known to man, from windows, from safe mode and from my Vista DVD. nothing. More blue screen, memory dump errors. Reformat was the only solution. What a load of you know what, this is! I truly feel bad for those who have no disks or thse knowledge to reformat after this service pack is done trashing their systems.
