that's what i'd like to know

is it seriously worth downloading???

It has a ton of added security patches which are typically worth the dowload by them selves. In true Microsoft fashion there are things that are turned on by default that need to be disabled or vice versa if you plan to support these workstations remotely or via a tool like Shavlik.

I have downloaded it and haven't notice any significant gains or delays. Doom3 works just fine, and some times that's all that matters.
