Well yes I know some will have already installed this but I have to say what a big improvement it is. The Firewall that now checks in/out traffic. The popup blocker on internet explorer to mention a few of the improvements. This is a big improvement. I've had it on a few days now and nice work guys

Re: Windows XP Sp2
Confused!

I have just checked for updates, and no SP2 listed. Have I missed something?

Xac would you mind explaining how you go about it as its a real pain having to download a whole service pack when you do the inevitable yearly reinstall.

Oh, and does it included a roll-up of all the critical fixes et al that are out at the moment?
