I installed it a few weeks ago IIRC and have had no problems. Then again I don't know much about OS so don't do a lot of tweaking as I dn't understand it, but all my programmes run as stably as they did before.

Yeah, it's fine. If you've been accepting updates, you'll have most of it already.

SoundTweaker, that sounds odd to me. I assume you run Intel's utility on your SSD; I run mine once a week. You are not supposed to defrag an SSD, so I really don't understand how an update of the OS would affect the free space on an SSD. If you figure out why this happened to you, please post.

It says "Published 2/22/2011", so it came out Tuesday.
I plan to apply all other fixes to both of my boots (My system is set up with a non-DAW and a DAW boot), reboot each one and shut it down. I'll take a "cold" disk image before I apply the Service Pack.
I've never had trouble with any SP before, and don't expect trouble now, but it's always better to have a "Plan B".

The only thing I can think of is that the update rolled up my installed hotfixes and updates and saved some space.

SP1 is nothing more than all the previous updates - so if you've been diligent with those, you should be okay and probably won't see any benefits ...

It actually is a little bit more -- but you're probably right about it being fairly safe, and having few benefits for most folks. Here's the skinny straight from MS: http://www.microsoft.com/...7ae59ddc11&pf=true

I noticed I gained weight after the install. I had a big pizza during the installation. The update is fine, no problems, also the pizza was great

You are not supposed to defrag an SSD Hey riojazz, why is this?

You are not supposed to defrag an SSD
Hey riojazz, why is this?
The purpose of Defrag is to reorder and then condense all of the data onto a contiguous area of a hard drive. This improves performance because, when you read one sector of a hard drive, the adjacent sectors are also read and buffered in the likely event you will need them, too. However, SSD drives are like RAM chips, so wherever the data is located doesn't matter for Read speed. The architecture of a hard drive is different, and the associated utilities that were developed for them like Defrag, are not relevant to an SSD. In fact, the main technical limitation of SSD drives are that there is a limit to the number of times you can Write to the drive. SSD manufacturers warn that you should TURN OFF DEFRAG to avoid unnecessary writing, since it does no good and actually does a small amount of harm. Intel SSD drives support implementation of the TRIM command in Windows 7, so just run the Intel® SSD Toolbox with Intel SSD Optimizer every week or so to check the drive and optimize performance. Think of that as the SSD equivalent of Defrag. The good news: it's a whole lot faster!

When I see limit as referenced above I think tape. Each time you rerecord over tape the quality gets worse. Being digital I doubt the 0s and 1s are going to get scratchy or start fading away. So that leaves you with either it's there (works) or not there (fails). Is there a published limit to how many times an area can be rewritten or a MTBF (mean time between failure) rate? Thanks, John

The Service Pack may not be in the category of "allow all updates". On my system, it's there, available for download and update if I check it, but it remains "unchecked", therefore not automatically installed.
I think I will implement it on my office environment first, then on my DAW a few days (or hours) later.

No problems here with SP1 and any of my other DAW software. It's a miracle that Microsoft managed not to screw it up. I did do an image with Acronis before trying it though. I'm not suicidal!

Gonna take my Acronis images after I shut down tonight. Tomorrow after work, I plan to just install SP1 on both boots and be done with it.
