I have trouble with the icons down next to the clock, they almost always show wrong icons; enabled network show the icon disabled network, volume show audioservice not running, enabled antivirus shows disabled antivirus....and so on. All shows almost the opposite. Else it worked well.

Lots of fatal errors reported around the net, most of them pertaining to language packs.
As for me, I met a C0190003 fatal error related to the updating of AMD64 components (hint: I have a Core 2) which completely hosed my system. Thankfully (and unexpectedly) System Restore could repair my partition and undo the SP1 installation. Apparently I'm not the only user in this situation.

It would have been nice if they uploaded the x86 and x64 versions separately instead of together. It was a little more challenging than usual to slipstream the service pack into Windows 7 RTM with Dism, but I figured it out and it completed successfully.

It worked fine for me, that is, if you don't count the fact that it kills PCTools Firewall. No more internet access until PCTools is uninstalled.
Then it worked ok.
VERY fast download for a file this size

It installed without a hitch. Though i noticed something peculiar.
When i was useing my multi-monitor. It seemed to not be working correctly.
Now, it worked fine before the Sp 1 update.
Which is why i give it a rating of 4
I have tried many times to download the windows 7 service pack 1 update and everytime it fails. what do i do?????????? PLEASE HELP!!!!!
