Yeah, kinda weird to download 70 MB, but seeing as 1,3 GB on C: apparently was NOT enough, as upon decompressing the space counter went down and down
After that failed attempt Windows Update showed me -820 MB somehow, yes with a minus sign in front the required space, (still notably less than those 1300 MB free), but it may also have been that the SP wanted to create a System Restore point first, already eating up all space even before the SP had a chance to install itself.

As said, the space was freed after, in my case it was less then 80 MB additionally after completion, but the real size depends on your system of course anyway. Downloading that huge ISO is really not needed, unless your computer is lacking a lot of updates.

And another problem has turned up. Or actually not, it's been there since Vista, but has never been fixed, despite its severity (it prevents Windows from starting up). So now, with the release of 7 SP1, people are hitting the very same problem once again.

Good job, Microsoft.

Meanwhile, I'm still cruisin' with XP x64 here. No problems with compatibility anymore either, due to all the x64 plugins released now.

You know that when one of the only two fixes is "reverting to a recovery point", this is bad.

Well, system recovery is on by default, at the very least.

Anyhow, not upgrading yet, I guess.
