Oh yeah. SP1 on any Microsoft OS (post DOS at least) is a necessary 
precursor to being usable. They tend to ship things long before they're 
actually ready for the general public. It's all that sort of tuning 
stuff they put in the SPs, while the first release I'm convinced is more 
to give the HW and SW vendors a chance to get their stuff working OK 
with it. Even XP pre-SP2 wasn't all that great. :-)
