XP Service Pack 2: My Recommendation: Don't Upgrade
Hi,
I have de-installed Windows SP2 on XP Pro. The new 'security features' are really annoying and don't add any value to an experienced user. Also, SP2 also ruined performance of Netscape 7.1, and generally killed CPU performance. I do not recommend installation of SP2, based on my experience. Neo

I second that!
I have one Windows box left on my network (running XP Pro). As long as you are running a good Windows based firewall (Norton Internet Security Professional does it for me), and are using a decent browser (Firefox 0.92 in my case), then there is no point upgrading to SP2 whatsoever. As Neo says, if you are an experienced user, you'll be looking after your system properly anyway, and won't need Redmonds "help"!! Cheers ZB
