Should I install Windows XP Service Pack 2?
I've heard a lot of bad things about it. Rolling Eyes

What's your experience with it?

I've installed it twice. Both times the firewall that it has would not allow me to get online, and no matter what I tried I could not turn it off. I have thought about trying it again though, who knows. I have read about other people having issues with it, there is a thread on wakeboarder about it

im with RUSSIAN, I think it sucks, the firewall and supposed protection stuff is absolute crap and just annoys the heck outta me. It has made it impossible for me to view my digital photos in html format.

Can't you set the firewall to allow things to pass and what not.

While I highly doubt you are in the same boat as me, I have XP Tablet edition and SP2 is a GODSEND.

But even on my regular laptop, SP2 is pretty slick and doesn't seem to really get in the way. I say go for it
