SP2's most discussed changes include a more rigorous approach to security, including stronger default settings... Wow, a stronger default setting. I bet that took all of two of three lines of code.

For those without big bandwidth, Microsoft will also make SP2 available on CD, free of charge. The company will even pick up the shipping tab. Don't put yourself out, Bill.

Yes but it is our crappy, poorly written help, no support, weekly updated, over priced, and memory hog Microsoft products.

By the time they get Windows XPletive into any kind of shape, I'll have taught myself how to use Linux.

I look forward to this update. Windows XP is already an excellent operating system that has served me very well for going on 3 years now.

Reading some comments in another forum....the concensus seems to be that SP2 (beta version) slows down the computer too much. Several out of a dozen or so comments said they installed it and the uninstalled it for that reason.

XP runs very well for me. So well, in fact, that there's no way in hell I'm going anywhere near this service pack after what I've heard about it.
XP SP1 works just fine, thanks.

More low-quality crap on the way from Microsoft.
And yet more FUD from a guy who doesn't even use the software on his desktop...

No way am I installing SP2 for a least a year and Microsoft gets the bugs out or until they stop servicing SP1 with critical updates. I don't need their popup blocker or their firewall, the ones currently installed work fine. And my browser is configured exactly the way I want it. No sense fixing something that isn't broken.
