    just like everthing else, what a pain in the ass.

    the pop-up blocker is nice, yet not at all worth the hassle.

        I haven't installed it. MS service packs scare me. I think I'll wait a bit longer.

        What is the download blocker?

              When my friend updated it on her laptop she got the blue screen with the fatal error. She couldn't reverse it and now her computer is fried. It started automatically downloading on my laptop and I couldn't turn it off so I just shut down windows. When I restarted, I also had the blue screen. Luckily I was able to restart in safe mode and system restore. I want nothing to do with this service pack. I've heard more bad things than good and now I've completely turned off my system updates.

                I have heard too many horror stories for me to install it just yet. I'll keep my PC up to date with all of the other patches, but I'll definitely give it another few months so vendors can produce drivers that function correctly with SP2 and any necessary patches come out. I hear about lots of people having display driver issues.

                Windows XP Service Pack 2 is Microsoft's biggest cock up since Windows ME Love it.

                  I love it. It's caused me no problems at all. To everybody that's having problems with SP2:

                        sp2 is doing pretty good for me. Only problems ive had were it detecting my USB bluetooth adapter i use for my v600.

                        most of the annoyances are easily workable, once you get those done, sp2 does pretty good. So far so good, but maybe not for long

                                I really don't touch that page more than once a week... if it were a full-time thing I'd definitely put more effort into it. it's just a site that I throw up in Notepad for my friends and coworkers to check out, because I realized I was emailing everybody way too many links on a constant basis. But yeh, I know it looks a little weak.
