I think I'll wait till it's finished before buggering up my main system

Yeah.. will leave it until they stick it on windows update.. let the SUS server download it.. then pipe it out to my systems.. is safer that way..

I have been running SP2 for about a month now. I got the disk from a Microsoft rep to try. I must say I am pretty happy with results. There are a few nice new features, one being the Security Center. It does a number of tasks but the nicest one is it checks your antivirus program, tells you if it is up to date and if it is operating correctly. The only problem I can see with SP2 is that it is 475 MB which is going to be a very long download for anyone who is on dialup. When I installed it on my machine it took one hour and twenty minutes off the cd.

All in all it seems to be working well, all auto updates have worked. For a beta version it seems to be very stable and I havent had a single problem with it yet.
