Should I install SP1? What if I was told to wait? Post SP1 Rollup Now Available

In a recent report from product support, they have explained that customers running SP1 are experiencing less issues with no reported regressions not known or otherwise were not included in the post SP1 rollup.  SharePoint hotfixes are cumulative.  As always please test, test, test.  The best and I'd say required reading and documentation on deploying service packs and hotfixes for WSS and MOSS are on TechNet.  There are tips and tricks for deploying a TON faster.  Yes, you should install SP1 and if you're looking for the latest, the post SP1 rollup is below.

I've heard of some customers who use workflows and content deployment extensively who have benefited from the post SP1 rollup.

The Post SP1 Rollup for WSS and MOSS are available.

We have released the Post SP1 rollups.  These are the fixes that were built during the Service Pack Lockdown (SPLock) timeframe that did not make it into the Service Pack. The build number for the Post SP1 Rollup is 12.0.6301.5000.  When you install it, the version information will record as 12.0.6300.5000:

WSS 3.0 Post SP1 rollup - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941422
MOSS Post SP1 rollup - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941274 

There is also a post SP3 rollup for WSS 2.0 and SPS 2003 (read the KB for more info)
WSS 2.0 Post SP3 rollup    - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941412
SPS 2003 Post SP3 rollup - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941204 (coming soon)

It was removed - I guess - since it confused the readers and actually there's only one relevant download: The Post SP1 rollup.

All the "blackout" stuff was just a blackout...

I'd have to say - wait !!! Installing the post SP1 hotfix resulted in my discussion boards breaking, whenever they are on a site with the Publishing Feature enabled. I guess I should have tested this more thoroughly, but I *did* test discussion boards on team sites and they work just fine...

I'll just wait for the Post "Post SP1 hotfix" hotfix .....

I don't think "they have explained that customers running SP1 are experiencing less issues with no reported regressions not known or otherwise were not included in the post SP1 rollup." is grammatically correct.

Do you mean "they have explained that customers running SP1 are experiencing less issues with no reported regressions, not known or otherwise, not being included in the post SP1 rollup."?
