XP Service Pack 2 - any issues?

[Adnams Drinker]

I've inherited a 2.8 Ghz P4 rig from my bro - he's sick of PC's and wanted shot of it - and it's running XP Home SP1.

IIRC when SP2 came out there were a lot of issues/problems with it and I've avoided loading it on any of the XP machines at work for that reason. I now think it's time I just bit the bullet and installed it - are there any major differences between it and SP1 or problems that arise because of it that I should know about?

Cheers fellas.

Of the software that NathanE listed, I think the only couple I have that come into that category is NOD32 and Spybot S&D. Other than the Catalyst 5.10 driver for my video card, everything else is just using the bog standard Windows driver from an XP Home install quite happily.

I think the time has come to just "suck it and see" ...
