To install or not to install SP1, that is the question!

I've been looking a lot at all the problems that are reported with SP1. It seems like I only see 1 "I didn't have any problems" for every 15 "I had problems". I'm not sure that it's worth upgrading to SP1. We run a single server environment and like most organizations, my users would be lost with out e-mail. My current setup is running nice and smooth. I don't see much reason to "rock the boat" and install SP1.
So, what are your thoughts? Install SP1 or don't fix what's not broken?

No further updates are being released for RTM. I have 100,000+ seats, all running SP1, and it runs great. Dunno what issues you've been hearing about. But SP1 is far better than RTM. If not for the extra cmdlets, archiving and gui enhancements, etc.

I did the SP1 upgrade. My only catch was that McAfee GroupShield wasn't compatible and caused the transport services to not run. There is a hot fix from McAfee and once installed everything seemed to work alright. I hope some one in the future finds this post useful!

Glad it worked for you, we upgraded a while back but ended up having to put RU2 on our mailbox servers with a lot of PF replicas as soon as it came out.
PF's kept bringing the store down. Not fun. :-(
