I’m currently using Vista Service Pack 1, and I have to say…it’s not much different.
I’m well aware that there’s many change’s ‘behind the scenes’ which make improvements here and there. But to the end user, there’s not really much difference, except the disappearance of the “Search” option on the Start Menu.
I also have service pack 1 for Office 2007 (Ultimate Edition) and I haven’t really noticed anything different about that. Speaking of Office, I received my back-up disks today 
I only wanted them because I knew they’d be official printed disk’s
