Tom - there is actually quite a bit of "concern"
about SP2 out there in the profession. Most of my peers are not installing
it in their environments yet. Concerns I have seen include some issues
with apps not functioning after installation. Personally, I only had
a short time of running it. I didn't have the time to look into it further
right now. So that part of the situation is my fault.
As is often the case in the business world,
the question is "is there a compelling business reason" to update to it?
If not, I'll let others "test" it for me and observe reactions to it.
Also, we have entire custom apps packages created by a third party. They
only "certified" Win2K for them last year. If I install it, and
there are any app problems, the first thing they will tell me is to
uninstall XP.
I remember all of the problems with NT SP6.
Luckily, I saw the initial reaction to it on some sys admin forums, and I waited
until SP6a arrived. Saved my employer downtime and money by dragging
my feet on it. (of course I was chastised at first for it, and commended
later) :-) Such is the life in IT.....

I find it interesting that anyone would have problem with the
XP SPII. Other than the long download time, with DSL if took over 45
minutes, I have not seen or experience one glitch. Actually I have
picked up speed in transition time between functions. I will admit that
I waited three days before I could muster enough courage to hit the Install
button.
