Here are the Points : I would recommend to test in test environment before dropping in production.

  1. Site Recycle bin – now capture the site as it’s deleted. Wohoo! This will save tons of unnecessary large database restores. Hmm maybe 200GB databases should be considered.
  2. Security enhancements –
  3. Reliability enhancements – I think alone this one for what it will do to make User profile sync will be worth making time to upgrade worth it.
  4. Storage Reporting for end users – StorMan the interface users had in 2007 to view storage is back and better!
  5. Chrome Support for SharePoint & Office Web Apps – Nice! More details on SharePoint 2010 SP1 browser support on TechNet (articles will be updated after release of SP1). You’ll also see better consistency with Project Server browser support.
  6. RBS (Remote Blob Storage) – Remote storage support for shadow copies ensuring better reliability and recoverability.
  7. New Powershell cmdlet (Move-spsite) for moving Site Collections between databases without moving content back in the db (when using RBS)
  8. Project Professional now synchronizes scheduled tasks with SharePoint task lists.
  9. Improved backup / restore functionality for SharePoint Server
  10. Includes all previous monthly cumulative updates
