I’ve heard there are going to be a lot of changes 8-). I just hope the “endless reboot” doesn’t start again. Looking at the release notes, there’s some juice.

Basically, Microsoft says that the Service Pack will give you support for Bluetooth 2.1., better Wi-Fi performance when starting your computer from sleep mode, native Blu-ray support (for writing to discs), improved performance of Vista’s desktop sidebar gadget (”it frikkin sucks, get Google desktop!”), it will boost power management efficiency by up to 10 percent, (now they’ll energy-star rate operating systems!), it will have support for VIA’s 64-bit CPUs and it fixes 600 something bugs.

Anyway, it’s now available everywhere, so go get it!
