"In SP1, PC administrators are able to modify the network throttling index value for the MMCSS (Multimedia Class Scheduling Service), allowing them to determine the appropriate balance between network performance and audio/video playback quality."
If you don't remember MMCSS was the service responsible for crippling gigabit network bandwidth while listening to music.
Mark Russinovich the guy that blogged about this flaw emailed me and said he'd be blogging about his in a few days. I spent a while trying to figure out how to change this option in SP1 but haven't been able to find it yet.
Support for UEFI is a massive change. We are finally one step closer to getting rid of that horrible horrible BIOS. Now if only MS would get their head out of their ass and make it for 32bit too.

Anyone want to wade through and give some highlights? I sure don't have 30 hrs of my life to spare on a changelog.
