I downloaded XP SP2 at work. I used it. For about 30 minutes. Then I uninstalled it. I cannot believe how slow a almost-new PC was running on it. Normally I'm not that anal about speed and I'm not an anti-MS zealot, but........ I'll have to do a little more research and see if there are some services that I could turn off to make it a bit more responsive.
