AnandTech takes a very thorough look at Vista SP1, and they conclude: "As far as the Vista user experience is concerned, users shouldn't expect any significant changes with SP1. In this respect Vista SP1 is much like any other Windows service pack, rather than being another XP SP2. To that extent if you threw a pre-SP1 system and a post-SP1 system in front of us, we'd need to do some low-level benchmarking to identify which one was using SP1. In day-to-day use, the difference is not obvious outside of the specific improvements we've talked about."

The WGA "lock me out of my computer" hell is over, replaced with the virtual equivalent to a slap on the wrists.
They're beginning to treat paying customers less like criminals, and acknowledge false-negatives in their authentication software.
