Another one who can vouch games work slower on SP 2. I installed it a couple of years ago, hated it (big fat bloat-ware in my opinion), went back to SP1. Apart from anything, you're losing anything from 60MB-80MB in memory just by running SP2...try it. As long as your careful on the net, you should be fine with SP1. So what's the point of it? I don't care if Mr. Gates wants to force me to use SP2 seeing they wont let me download Windows Media 11 without SP2 (Microsoft = Software Mafia), I'll just keep Media 10, thank you for nothing, silly geeko Gates.
So now please...someone tell me the benefits of having SP2 over SP1. Anyone? You IT "experts"?
