though i gotta admit the first thing i disabled was the security center in services.....though it sure might be of good use for most ppl with limited skills who directly connected to the internet with no other protection ....
application wise no problems what so ever over here with a clean WinXP SP2 integrated install....

SP2 works fine, so long as people actually read the deployment docs *prior* to installing it.
There's always going to be someone who can't install a patch or hotfix (or the OS, for that matter)

I made the mistake of installing SP2 last night, and I'm having some serious
issues. Nearly every dialog box shows up blank, I am unable to set options
and/or access program functionality in practically every application on this
machine.
Windows XP SP2 has got to be up there with Windows NT 4.0 service pack 2 in terms of crap updates, possibly even worse. Maybe M$ are trying to push everyone away from Windows ?
If I recall correctly, NT4sp3 was not long after NT4sp2.
I wonder if we can expect an XPsp3 "soon" that deals with all the crap that XPsp2 brings upon us.
Apparently it saved everything I need for a rollback, so I'm really looking forward to doing that. The catch: The 'Add or Remove Programs' feature no longer works. The window appears, but is blank.
Does anyone know of an alternate way to initiate a sp2 rollback?
