Best to get it off Windows Update though.

Enjoy :)

Nice to know! Any "good" improvements other than security updates/hole patches?

Start-up and shutdown times have lowered for me, as well as using windows explorer.

My startup time can't possibly get any quicker I think. It only takes about 50-60 seconds to be booted and logged in.
