Maybe they'll finally fix some of the nasty 'performance hits' that have been in there since Vista...and just generally fix lag issues in the multimedia layer of the API. A true "classic mode" would be nice too, so I don't have to even SEE some of the useless new layouts of the UI.

It is too bad...windows 7 is a major improvement over vista64 and xp64...but it is still full of massive, obvious problems...and we know from history that microsoft does not fix big problems with service packs or hotfixes; they usually don't even fix these massive problems when they release a new version.
so its a fake SP? just combining all the fixes, and no nnew features? oh well saves me havign to install all those fixes at the beggining, plus enterprise LOVE SPs
the SP is just their way of making sure people who feel its best to wait untill the first SP is released before buying,be tricked into a state of confidence and buy the OS now instead of later when they really have new things to issue(SP2 probably). essentially making this SP an advertising stunt.
