Service pack 1 not a 'wow factor'

Installed it last night, and was hoping they had fixed the "not responding" issue that so many users are having around the globe.
This happens mainly when you are connected to a network and start to multi task many apps, and you have Desktop Window Manager service running (this gives you your aero, transparencies, etc.). There seems to be a flaw in this service, so the only way to get rid of the "not responding" error all the time, is to disable this service.

Pity though, it was nice to have all the new visual effects that came with Windows 7. Other than that, there does not seem to be any significant differences to mention (not like what you got with XP service packs).
