Last night I installed SP2. The installation went very smoothly. all my programs and all hardware work just fine. Boot up time is the same as before. IE and all it's plugins work just great. I was upgraded to WMP v9 which also works great. I am very satisfied with SP2. For the first time ever, defrag now results in a solid blue block.

I think those people who are complaining about SP2 should take a better look at the condition of their computers. Computers already infected with spyware, worms, trojans, etc will not perform well with SP2. I believe any clean machine will benefit greatly from this major upgrade.
