  Windows XP SP1: Why it's not so boring after all
Time: 08:10 EST/13:10 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Robert Stein

The initial reaction to Windows XP Service Pack 1 is that it's big and it doesn't seem to do anything. No argument on the size issue--it's immense and it needs gobs of free disk space to install itself. But I think the fact that it doesn't have much visible impact on the system is a good thing. THERE WAS A TIME when Microsoft took a lot of heat for introducing new features into service packs, which are typically supposed to be conglomerations of bug fixes. There are a few new features in SP1, but only a few, and you'd generally have to go looking for them or you wouldn't know they were there.
