If you can get a disk with XP Service Pack 3 as an upgrade my experience was that that works with less problems. As always back up everything before beginning this update. On the three occasions I had trouble I was using the windows update. In all three cases the problem was with access to the internet using the browser (email still worked). These were home machines attached to a router. At work, of 40 some stations that updated none had any problems. However, about 25 of those updates were done using a disk we obtained via our university license.

Before I undertook the upgrade I investigated the complaints about it and decided to wait about six months before upgrading. By that time I did not see many complaints although, as noted, I experienced problems on my home machines.
