    Case for:
    Less chance of getting your computer hijacked, new DX stuff, new security center, much better wireless networking and tablet interfacing, addresses most known security issues at the time of it's release (will also be needed for later security patches.)

    Case against:
    "LOLLERZ WIN 98 WAS THE BEST WINDOWS EVAR!"

      a friend couldn't delete files after installing it.

      I think you should though.

        the only noticeable difference is a really annoying security addon.

        i would advise you not to bother.

            The security add-on isn't annoying once you have configured it to allow all your games and programs. Definitely download it.

              I haven't had to touch the security central thingy more than the first time. "don't bother me again" + hide icon makes wonders.

                home, eww.

                Well I have sp2, just to be assure that I don't get any extra threats to my computer. The only thing that is annoying is the security central. I lost my nerves the first time I saw it. Since sometimes I haft to install windows xp more then once, since my hdd is broken (but still working, some minor glitch), and I haven't had the time or energy to send it support of a new one..

                Back to the topic.. Security central is easyly disabled with msconfig. Just hit run, write msconfig, services, search for security central. Now we won't ever see security central anymore.. Also you can disable functions/services that you don't need. I reazlly should make my customized win xp without any annoying search dogs, and stupid things that just requires ram and that are totally useless. And that has service pack 2 intergrated.. ^^'';

                So, just download it. I suppose it has some updates that gets rid of some unprotected ports..
                Endless space, endless exploration.

                    Yes? No? Maybe?

                    ...
                    :light:

                    YES!
                    Download/install sp2 immediately!
                    Not updating to sp2 is like not updating your AV, ect.
                    And, you can disable the Security Center service. Gets rid of the annoying crap.
