    In my case a whole bunch of drivers for USB devices (hubs, host controllers, composite devices and such) got (re-)installed. Anybody else seen that?

    It seems you opted to install the optional updates.

    Ah, yes, that's the one. Looks like it was a good thing, too: I really still had the old (pre-SP1) drivers before. Not that I had any problems with them, but now they're going to be even better. ;)

    P.S.: Actually, I'll take that back: I used to get disk error messages (EventID 11: " The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk#\???") when plugging in certain USB sticks or external hard drives sometimes. The errors proved to be spurious, and did not indicate any real problem, but with the new drivers they seem to be gone now. Nice.

    one of the important updates was not selected on mine- kb2533552 (im on win7 64).
    should i manually select and install it?

    Most probably it is the 'update for all future updates'... it wasn't selected to be installed... and I, by default, install all important windows updates that come through. There is no reason why you shouldn't...
