no problems here, having a separate Home partition always helps, left that on ext3 but I also always recreate my profile by renaming it beforehand then moving the data into the newly created profile. Another bonus is that on my laptop the locking up problem seems to have been fixed, I never found out what it was on 9.04 but I suspected the ATI graphics support.
Now I'm waiting to see what Mint has in store for us.
I run Vista Home Basic in Virtualbox under Linux Mint on my laptop, so no pressure if it failed, SP1 took about 90 minutes with lots of aborted sessions when it kept crashing, but after about 10 restarts, including a file check, it installed. It does seem faster, but as I hardly ever use it I am not going to notice any benefit.
