Blogspam
I thought that I had posted on this subject in the past. Searching for the term it appears that I haven't.
Just to reiterate that I am not interested in reviewing or re-posting information on 3rd party products or software.
I realize that stating this is not going to stop the almost daily solicitations for this. I believe that this is the result of an automated process. If a human had read my pages and assessed the content they would have determined that they would be wasting their time in writing me an email.

Finally applying Windows 7 SP1
I decided to bite the bullet and install SP1 on my Win 7 Pro box (with a non-pirated license).
As seen on my other machines that were activated using Daz the process was a laborious one. There were 2 re-starts involved and the download and install took a we while to compete. I can see why there are many that think that their machine has frozen in the process.
After the 30% -> restart and then the balance of the update when I looked in Windows Update there were still 31 important updates ready to install. I thought "What the heck - I have come this far - I even let it install IE 9" so after checking that the installation of SP1 didn't seem to slow my computer down I went ahead and installed the balance of the updates.
So far I have not seen an problems and there were no errors reported in the istallation of any of the updates. This is contrary to what I have been reading on other websites.
On a side note: I installed Windows 7 Home Premium from an OEM DVD that had SP1 already there from Microsoft and even then when I ran Windows Update there were over 30 updates that needed to be installed - perhaps these are the ones that I saw on my Pro box and are updates that can only be installed after SP1 is installed.
