XPS 630 owners - should I update to Vista SP1?
Received my 630 last Thursday and system is solid, with everything working well. Got all my software etc installed but noticed Vista home premium has not be updated. I am new to Vista but was curious as to whether I should leave well enough alone or update from the MS site? Thanks.

Yes... you should install SP1
you will have more security and faster file copying among other improvements.

I'm waiting a bit before installing SP1. Seems the net is divided. Some ppl reckon SP1 has increased their performance quite considerably, whereas others have said it completely trashed their OS. Just do a bit of researching first to get an idea.
If I were you I'd get hold of some imaging sw like Paragon first and take an image of your working OS before you apply SP1. At least then you won't have to start over again with all your installations if it goes the shape of a pear.
