I had that earlier today - it's a chunky update. Took me about 10 mins to download (I'm on broadband) and then another 10 mins for my PC to to install the Service Pack during the re-booting process. Then another few mins when you log on for the first time after the update.

Erm, not really. Just to fix some bugs and improve security/stability issues. The most notable ones are: (although I'm not sure how relevant this is to most users)

• Improved HDMI audio device performance: there’s a small update that helps reliability of HDMI audio devices after rebooting.

• Corrected behavior when printing mixed-orientation XPS documents: If you’re trying to print XPS documents that have landscape and portrait pages in the same document, now they will print correctly.

• Change to behavior of “Restore previous folders at logon” functionality: If you used the “Restore previous folders at logon” feature in Folder Options, the folders would restore into a cascaded set of windows. Now they will restore to where they were.

• Support for Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX): supports a newer processor extension that improves performance for floating point intensive applications.

• Improved Support for Advanced Format (512e) Storage Devices: hard drive manufacturers are transitioning to a new 4KB physical sector size, and now Windows 7 supports this better.
