Installed SP1 on my desktop, now web browsing breaks for me if I leave my PC on overnight.

Firefox or IE both broken in day 2. I still have internet conenctivity, can ping www.google.com etc... Just web browser broke.

My laptop is on it's last legs and at the moment I'm just going to replace it with a Macbook Pro. An expensive way to browse the web & read emails but I just want to buy something that works and I might as well give it a try.

With the OSX RDP client and VMWare Fusion you're not even stuck in your own little mac world any more.

My name has 9 letters. Coincidence? I think not...
I have had absolutely no problems with SP1 whatsoever, neither on my desktop (running Vista x64) nor on my laptop (running Vista x86).

The networks problems appeared just after installing SP1 and running with the stock driver. I've updated to the latest Intel-provided driver in an attempt to fix the issue, to no avail. It also seems that I'm not alone with the PnP and USB issues. Again, SP1 created those issues, removing SP1 fixed them. Vista works fine and SP1 somehow breaks it on some systems at least.
