Windows XP SP2 FINAL is out!

Heh. I'll save you all some trouble.

Get a Mac.

Or, if you want to save yourselves some money, go Linux. You'll never look back.

Using Xandros Linux 2.0. I do everything I do in M$ Windoze - Surf the net, make webpages, burn CDs, listen to MP3s, play games...

Trust me.

I've installed MS XP SP2 for a month now with no issues.

As for issues with AV and other firewalls.
AV: Ensure you have the latest version and updates from the manufacture since they issue program updates (with thie latest version only) to work properly with MS XP SP2.
Firewalls: Also ensure you have the latest version and updated from the manufature. Disable your current firewall befor installation of MS XP SP2. MS XP SP2 comes with its own filewall and is turned on automaticly after the installation. Then you can turn off the MS XP firewall and turn on your favorite firewall. You should not run both firewalls at the same time.

Hope this helps.
Have a good day.

I concur. Linux > Windows.

But yeah, as for SP2...oh man I'm not even gonna start with all the issues it has caused me.

Go Linux.
