Well, it hasn't blown up in my face yet. As long as you don't forget to turn off the Windows firewall and the annoying Security Centre, you should be ok.
Although I still haven't found prefetch yet.
I'm sure it's good for something.

I thought you were on about the Nintendo Gameboy SP2 (thge one with 2 screens). Personally in this case i think is ugly as fuck and the PSP will rock it out of the market.
But seeing as were njot talking about gamboys, service pack 2 has got to be plus. How can you turn down free software thatll fix windows errors.

I figure that I will, just because of what it is supposed to be doing, I want to find out if it works, what wont work any more, etc.

With SP2 comes a useless security centre, you can disable the firewall from there. After you've disabled the firewall you disable the security centre.

just installed SP2. Apart from taking a rediculous amount of time to set up, ive noticed nothing great so far. (only been 1 day).

well test results i've seen said that it makes your computer slightly slower, but i guess that's what happens if you want updated crud. Hold on, I'll see if i can find the results...
Hmm, nope, I can't find them. *shrugs* but anyway, i'm talking minutely slower.

bleh, I read some reports that said stuff ran faster. Ah well. And, IMO, updates fixing your computer shouldn't make it slower.

I agree, they should keep it exactly equal or faster. But nope, what I read said it was slower, but hey.
I guess the thing is it's more for the computer to do. That's the problem with computer stuff these days, they are making it to complex. fools. Simplicity man! Simplicity!

we should go back to DOS. Totally. Imagine how fast DOS would load with a 3gh processor and...erm...640k of RAM.

lol. I think that would create a rift in the time-space continuum. I remember the days when my pc ran outta RAM in Dungeon Keeper when there were a lot of bile demons around. After I upgraded to a whooping 32mb everything went like a charm, however.
