There have been problems reported with it, That said I have it on one box and it went ok, though that was a pretty clean box software wise, I declined it on my laptop, which has a lot more software on it. Mainly the service pack consists of security updates and patches, all of which you will have if you have kept updates uo to date. AFIK it brings very little of anything else, if you do not want to install it, and don't want it bugging you next time you are offered the install, select custom install and unselect the box next to it then hit install, it will pop up a box offering you not to be told of this update again.Hope for the best.....Plan for the worst!
