Eh? I hadn't heard anything about this.. downloading now.. hope it doesn't fudge things up like SP1.

Only problems I have heard of was Outlooks keeps trying to open a Journal everytime they send something..

nothing special. firewalls shite and annoying, turned it all off. only decent thing is the pop up blocker which is quite good.

maybe there a few underlying patches for xp that fix flaws yet found by the public/hackers.

It's mostly security fixes, shit most people won't notice, but everyone using XP should install it. If you're a dial-up jockey you can get [url=http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/images/gallery/execs/web/gates-2.jpg:9e22e]Uncle Bill[/url:9e22e] to send you an XP SP2 CD, free of charge, by visiting the following link.....

it seems ok - but it totally fucked my friends pc up - ended up not being able to get past the logon screen so he had to format

This paranoia over hacks and security flaws is insane and irrational. Just
encrypt your damn drives and ghost your machine: OOPS! No longer any
use for SP2 or constant safety updates!

That's the attitude that lead to thousands upon thousands of idiots getting infected with the Blaster worm. The patch was out for a month or two before the vulnerability in question was exploited, but still tons of people didn't bother their arse visiting Windows Update, and when the virus spread nearly every computer-related message board on the net was flooded with "OMFG WHY IZ MY PC REBOOTING!!!!1".

Patch or die. eek:
