It makes the machine unstable, causing repeated hard freezes

Do a google search for more info

Spread the word if you think this is important


Nonsense. I've installed it on 5 machines here at home and 3 at work.
SP2 is nice, has some nice new features, and works fine.


Kim Komando mentioned some apparent problems with the Service Pack on her
program this morning.

She mentioned something about it being in her newsletter or on her site.

Service pack 1 looked for known pirated keys, and disabled systems it found
with them. It's very likely SP2 does this as well, and is probably more
sophisticated at determining whether or not a serial number is bogus.

Beyond that, some programs use "illegal" entry-points into various WinXP
processes, and these hooks may have changed with the new service pack.
That's why a lot of malware and spyware makes it crash -- some of those
programs actually replace MS system files with altered ones.
