Heh. Well, it's all speculation, but I might as well do a little of it...

I believe perhaps Gandalf would have seen Boromir's temptation after Lorien easier than the others did and maybe would have talked him out of it somehow.

Aragorn wouldn't have built up so much trust in himself, as he was forced to lead the Company after Gandalf's fall. He couldn't clearly decipher what Gandalf would have wanted him to do, so the task was placed on him, giving him more confidence in his decisions, as all of his choices seemed to be the right ones.

Frodo wouldn't have been wandering off alone in Amon Hen in the first place with Gandalf there.

The stay at Lothlorien would have been much different, I presume.

One could go on, but I'll stop there.
