[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 63465, member: 175235"] Have installed SP2 on three machines and had no problems whatsoever. :) Doesn’t really change the feel of windows, it removes the ‘professional’ and ‘home edition’ words from the splash screen. The firewall is terriable, compared to the last one its probably ok, but compared to even the free Zone Alarm it's not worth having. It also warns you if you don’t have antivirus software, auto updates or a firewall running every time you start windows which can be annoying (especially as it doesn’t detect all anti virus software) but you can disable the warnings. Networking has changed slightly also, if you are on a network that isn’t set up properly it now tells you that you have ‘limited connectivity’ and the connection might not work and some other things like that, they are stating the obvious, but it’s still more informative than before. Not had any problems with programs, Zone Alarm 5.something works fine as does Norton Antivirus. You can also uninstall it if you want to. :) [/QUOTE]
