    I wouldn't recommend installing a beta service pack, especially since Windows 7 doesn't really need a service pack IMO. I wonder if security updates will be included...

    If there were some major fix, like getting the auto icon arrangement out of folders, it might be worth it. Until then Windows 7 runs wel enough as is for me........

    I hope SP1 fixes the limited search functionality.

    Windows 7 doesn't have much wrong with it to recommend installing a leaked BETA service pack.
