I already installed SP1 and have had no issues. It has slowed my boot time a few seconds, but my applications are opening much faster now. Outlook 2003 comes up instantly, vs. the 5 or 6 seconds it took before. Ctrl+Alt+Del is WAY faster! It's instant as well, when previously it took about 10 seconds or so to load the menu. Yes, I'm aware that it's one of the enhancements MS said would be included in SP1.
Moral of the story, you should probably have good well-known hardware to run Vista in the first place. Tomorrow I will attempt to update my BIOS to see if I can get my MB to recognize 4GB of Corsair memory. I did it prior but Vista would not boot at that point, and it had nothing to do with the boot.ini.
Feel free to try it out, but there is always a risk when installing a service pack. I hope others have as much luck as I did.
