Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
Well the pop-up blocker seems to be pretty handy and the firewall is a lot more active.....

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
I'm trying to download SP2, but for some reason I get this message on the WindowsBeta page:
You cannot view this page at this time.
Reason: Insufficient Credentials

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
Never mind, I just finished updating and Windows update says "We recommend you download and install Sp2" So I thought OK, time to download! 
Hmm, says 100mb. I wonder if thats for the Home edition of Windows, and the 200+ one is for Professional.

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
Right, after waiting almost 4 minutes for my machine to finally boot, I've decided to do a system restore to get rid of SP2 - it might be different for you of course but my advice would be to AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!! It slowed everything down to an almost unworkable rate  @ Gates

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
I did create a slipstream CD with it integrated and didn't have any problems (on my virtual PC). But in the long run - I think I'll wait for the proper full version to come out.

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
Since installing SP2, my system runs faster, and is more stable 
SP1 used to be very slow, and used to crash a lot.

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
I installed SP2 ages ago and have recently downloaded a 100Mb update to it. Both installations went OK and the computer has been fine. The barge pole didn't seem needed.
