yeah, they should have thrown in xp to make a 'base' for the vista marks. (i cant think of the word we used to use when we did pracs in science) score with xp and sp3 rc2 is prob 8600+ for 3dmark 06 score which is about 6-7% diff to vista vanilla. imo neways

SP2 finally turned on the firewall by default. That in itself made it the most important service pack.
