Service Pack 1 for XP What does it do? I know it fixes a lot of "bugs" in XP but what exactly does it do? Is it any good?

as is my experience of this
it's mainly bug and hotfixes, security features etc.
visually u wont notice a change.
but microsoft swear that it's essential.

now that was a bad one.

it was kept seriously quiet so script kiddies wouldnt know about it. which was probably the best thing they could have done with a flaw that big.

i would recomend getting sp1 because without it any major flaws like that one that are found later will not be fixable without sp1 installed.
