I suggest you check them out before you install this service pack. Please, let us know if you experienced troubles with other apps that are not in this list. This problem of Vista SP1 is causing a lot of stir. A pre-requisite update KB triggers endless reboots on some machines. Microsoft suspended the automatic distribution of this update.
I installed this update before, but I didn't experience this problem. I just checked Windows Update and it was available again.
Before that, I was able to install Vista SP1 without this patch anyway. So it seems like this issue is not as bad as it seemed at first. KB has details on how to solve this problem if you are affected. Milo reports that some systems with SP1 crash when attempting to wake up their PC from sleep mode. I have experienced the same problem on some Vista machine without SP1. A BIOS update might be of help in such cases. However, I don't know if the problem described by Milo is a new one.
He thinks that it might be related to the reboot issue. However, I think it must be something different because the reboot problem isn't about sleep mode. ITWire received emails from users who experienced problems after installing SP1. One is that the memory and performance rating is not displayed anymore, and the other one is about the Windows Mobile Device Center.
Based on the screenshot they published, the latter one looks familiar to me. I got the same meaningless error message sometimes when I connected my Windows Mobile 6 device to different desktops running the Windows Mobile Device Center. The only solution I found was to reset Windows Mobile.
I don't know if this is really the same problem, but it could be that SP1 causes an authentication problem which probably was the reason for the error message in my case. Microsoft plans to release a new version, but as far as I know, this is not yet the case. The German Windows Vista blog and Aaron discovered a problem with the sound system.
It seems that this is related to the driver problem discussed above. However, Microsoft dedicated a particular article KB to it. Even though some media are making a big deal out of this SP1 issues, I don't think that they are really serious so far.
Of course, those who are affected might have a different view about it. But do you remember about the troubles that service pack 2 for Windows XP caused? Well, XP is everybody's darling now.
