Thank you johnny.rotton,
I'd better to wait SP 2 in my own language.
According to MS SP2 will be released via automatic updates within June in all other languages:-)

... I'll wait too

Yes, it's released. Thanks for the info.

I'll wait for the MS Update. That said why is the upcoming update much smaller than the release today?

32-bit five-language standalone package is 302 MB.

64-bit five-language standalone package is 508 MB.

The Windows Update packages are much smaller: 41 MB for 32-bit and 60 MB for 64-bit.

I installed it today. Took 50 minutes to install. I do not notice any difference yet - one way or the other. Some say booting is faster. I timed mine before and after and there was no change.
pathfinder, my 32bit download is 348MB. It took only a few minutes to download.

I installed it and I have no issues with SP2. But I really haven't seen anything revolutionary either. Maybe a touch more responsive. Gaming seems to be the same.
For a service pack this one really brings very little to this OS
